LOL... the Rocna is the main reason I spent a week installing all upgraded
ground tackle on my boat.
I just got tired of hauling it and 30' of 5/16" G4 chain by hand... with a huge pile of mud on top...

I've been messing around, and doing a lot of experimentation with mine, and I can get this thing to set hard at a 2:1 and I've never owned an anchor that would set at less than 3:1 not even the Manson. It is a beast and I feel very secure but pulling up sea bed the size of Mini Cooper's is not much fun. If it can set in my lawn it can set just about anywhere!!!

If I could set it in my lawn, I could set it anywhere... since my lawn is an asphalt parking lot...
However, I think that's a bit beyond even its capabilities.

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.
