TB-
I have no financial interest in Rocna
Anchors, and do own one... and am basing my opinions on the Rocna on my experiences with it. The only real complaint I have with the Rocna is that it generally brings up about its own weight in bottom and cleaning it off is a royal pain.
I do not believe my statements about the Rocna are biased in any way.
Also, having 150' of G4 chain and the 35 lb.
CQR is a far different story from having a 45'
CQR with almost no chain. Twelve feet of chain might be suitable for a lunch hook, but is far too little for a primary
anchor IMHO. I would like to go up to 60' of chain, but don't know how well my fairly light boat would handle the additional weight forward.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
