When you get a chance could you please ask Steve what he thought of the Rocna anchor he bought after using it in Washington, Canada and Alaskan waters? Thanks, Dennis
Hi Dennis: The anchor works as advertised – and is a big improvement over anything we have used in the past. We were often anchoring on 2-1 scope (usually after setting on 2.5-1) due to lack of swinging room, water depth, or both, and we never had a problem.
The only time we did not get a really good bite was in Sitka, on Baronof, where the bottom is extremely soft. In rocky bottoms and kelp-fouled bottoms it did well.
All of this in the context of an oversized hook- 250 pounds/115kg – and 3/8" chain. – Steve
