Hello<\/p>\n
I would appreciate your opinion. i have followed your vessels, and while I cannot afford them, they provide an educational experience. My own boat is a 35 foot water line length double ended cutter, an atkin vixen design, about 25,000 pounds displacement.<\/p>\n
We are reviewing our anchoring systems. Right now it looks like we will have a 45 pound delta anchor , all chain on one side, and a lighter anchor, mostly line, on the other. We were thinking of having both delta anchors, although we have all been told to have two types. I mostly cruise the US northeast up to Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n
Are two types, given modern anchor design, really better? that’s the basic question.<\/p>\n
Appreciate your input.<\/p>\n
thanks<\/p>\n

Hi David:<\/p>\n
We would put all the anchor weight\u00a0 into a single bigger hook. And\u00a0 get a Rocna\/Spade type. Better in weed and rock than the Delta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
