That's a bit large for my boat... I think I'll stick with my 15 kg Rocna.

I know where there's an anchor similar to that - but FREE! All you need to do is bring a barge over to Price's Neck Cove, off Gooseberry Island, Newport, RI.

It's an old Naval ship anchor - left after the Navy abandoned the Island they used as a firing range. Sitting in about 30 feet of water - always note it when I'm diving there . . . salvage away.

Might improve your holding power, but would be a pain to stow.
I don't think its going to fit on my bow roller.

Blue,
Next time your down there, just tie a line on to it and drag it up with you.
Whats the big deal?

Yeah I thought of that TJK, knowing that my Lewmar Sprint 1500 should handle 4 tons . Problem is, there's about 100 feet of HUGE chain attached to it. Each link is the size of my head.

I'd have to get a bigger chain gypsy.

I do have a big head . . . but my wife sometimes says it has negative pressure.

Ok, it's mine. Hands of guys. I do need to know the proper scope with that anchor. 0:1? As long as it hits bottom?
