Rocna anchors


Recommended Posts

We have a Rocna after finding our Bugel was dragging, 25kg on a 12.8m boat - it’s been fantastic in up to 40kts with enough chain - never dragged. I sleep much better at night. Lived on the hook for 9 months last year.

 

We had another smaller boat with a CQR and replaced it with a shovel, similar experience - although we never tested the shovel fully, as the worst conditions we’d ever anchored in was 25kt in the Marlborough sounds. The CQR dragged on a number of occasions, but never the shovel.

Photos kind of say it all really. Arkles Bay at low tide. Similar bottom to lots of spots around where I am in the Gulf.

I towed the plough up and down the beach in a figure 8. Didn't matter what I did, I couldn't get it to set.
