This one is probably for Maine Sail...
I know that there are a few hundred threads about anchors on SN but I wish to ask a specific question, hope that is OK;
I am going to buy a new anchor for my Catalina 400 (40' boat 20,000 lbs or thereabouts). (current anchor is tiny...)
Manson recommends for the Supreme anchor:
40-45' boat = 45 lbs anchor ($431 @ defender)
45-55' boat = 60 lbs anchor ($600 @ defender)
Should I stick with the 45 lbs or go with the 60 lbs?
I will use the anchor primarily in the Chesapeake Bay and possibly east coast to Bahamas. 150' of 5/16 chain.
I would consider a Rocna but the sizing question would remain the same...
