Re: Stus-List Anchor test - recommended lunch hook/kedge?

Dave, I use a danforth as my second anchor; 35 lb CQR as primary; last Saturday I rode out a line of several squalls which came from 180 degrees opposite of my primary anchor position, the danforth held through all of them; while several boat, which had set only a bow anchor struggled and

Re: Stus-List Anchor test - recommended lunch hook/kedge?

I can attest to the difficulty of setting a Fortress unless set in relatively calm conditions, even with a soft mud bottom. It was one of 2 anchors I used when I anchored out in a local creek during Hurricane Irene's visit to NC in 2011. I set it and a bigger Danforth (~50 lbs) in calm water

If you are still looking for more opinions on anchors and anchoring, there was a long discussion on the topic at SBO (http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/static-tests-versus-field-use-true-holding-power-of-anchor-types.180538/) . Some of the comments were quite similar to the

Stus-List Anchor test - recommended lunch hook/kedge?

Quite a pair of testimonials... And some interesting replies. Based on the replies here and much of what I've read online, there is little point in having a danforth type when a larger and smaller rocna, delta or Bruce type would cover both bower and kedge applications. What does surprise

Re: Stus-List Northeast Rendezvous - Mystic Food Festival

Also, especially for those who may be arriving Friday, New London Harbor (Thames River) is 5 miles west of the Mystic River. The parade on Friday should be a treat. In years past, the parade has exited the Thames River and made a large loop out into the Long Island Sound before going back in.

Re: Stus-List Anchor test - recommended lunch hook/kedge?

I recently had my first anchor test. We were in Coechles harbor on Shelter Island overnight and a 50+ knot squall blew through at 2AM. I have a Rocna (I believe it is the 27 lb) with 20’ of chain and I had about 70’ of line which is about 6:1 in that area. I was one of the few boats that did

Re: Stus-List Keel Centerboard Damage Liability

FWIW, I have had a few groundings with my board almost all the way up (about 6" of board exposed--I do not grind it up completely within the trunk since with sea critters, it can get stuck there) and many more with it down of course! The only time I saw keel damage was when I hit a submerged

Don't forget the Delta Sure Set. Spent a year on the hook and 30 kt winds were not uncommon and once saw gusts of 50 kts. Scope has everything to do with a good set. Mike PERSUASION C 37 K/CB Long Sault > On Aug 28, 2016, at 12:12 PM, Robert Boyer via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List Anchor test - recommended lunch hook/kedge?

From my past experience, a danforth (or a similar design like a Fortress) doesn’t work all that well when the wind changes direction and the anchor has to reset itself. A CQR, Bruce, Manta, or Rocna will do much better in these conditoins! Bob > On Aug 28, 2016, at 11:01 AM, Dennis C. via

Just remember a Fortress sets best at 2.5 or less scope. Once set, you can let out more rode to achieve proper scope. Dennis C. Touché 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 28, 2016, at 9:50 AM, John Pennie via CnC-List > wrote: > > Rick pretty much

When I bought Weatherly there was a Fortress, I think FX11, with it. Most of the time it held, but once in a grassy bottom it just not set at all in 18 kts breeze. After that, thanks to recommendations on this list, I bought at 33 lb Rocna. The Fortress is my lunch hook only now. Few weeks
