What size for the ROCNA do I go with their charts or go weigh up and do we keep a large Bruce also. Thanks, Fred <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Fred: The ROCNA is a much better all around anchor. There are no hard and fast rules about sizing, except that BIGGER is always better. Lots of comments on this throughout SetSail. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As to your specific boat, without knowing the windage and configuration hard to say. But a Sundeer 64 Ketch went through the big hurricane a couple of years ago in Grenada with a 80kg Bruce (176 lhbs), so I would start there, using the additional holding power of the ROCNA for higher factor of safety in poor holding and the ability to anchor on very short scope. &#8211; Steve <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, How about some coments about anchors Bruce vs ROCNA for the tropics for a 68 ft wt 68,000 sailboat. <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/rocna-vs-bruce-anchors\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anchoring-forum","category-tech-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36211,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15\/revisions\/36211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
