I have used a
Delta a
CQR 35# and for the last three years have relied solely on a 33# Bruce. My
CQR is now my back up! The Bruce
anchor sets faster and re-sets with a tremendiously high reliability rate compared to my
CQR. I sail the Maine coast and most of the bottoms are thick clay like mud. The Bruce works about 30% better than any other
anchor I''ve used. My
anchor arsenal consists of a Bruce 33 a
CQR 35 and a
Fortress FX 16 as a lunch hook or stern
anchor. I sold the
Delta and was very unimpressed with it because it did not re-set well in a tide or wind shift. In most Maine anchorages it''s not very far to a rocky shore and usually by the time you hear the
anchor alarm on the
GPS it''s to late! Just my .02 worth....
