Yeah, I know the Fortress is a good anchor, and I'll be happy to have one aboard. I didn't want it as my primary because on fluke-type anchors, a severe wind shift can cause them to pop out, where they may or may not reset (have experienced this and it wasn't fun). I know that short of that situation, they are a great anchor for mud, so I think it's a great asset on board. I just want my primary anchor to be better at resetting. Plus, the light weight of the Fortress means I'm more likely to dig it out of the cockpit locker when I even think I might need it.
