<p>I have a far too heavy Mantus and a farr too heavy chain on my T21. it doesn't fit in my front hatch. However,when in the water, it is very secure and a pain to pull it back. Plus I dammage my front beam, even with all care I use. I want to change for something lighter, but not sur of what I need. </p>

<p>Our trusty CQR copied was looking very rusty last year so we replaced it with a Rocna as we wanted something that bit quickly as we are in the Med and anchorages are crowded. As we do not have a windlass we we ended up with a 10kg as there was not a 12kg and the 15kg is too heavy for us to handle.</p>

<p>When we used it we found it bit as quickly as advertised. The only time we had a problem with it was when we dragged; however, it did reset, the bottom was not brilliant and as we were on chain and rode we may not have had enough scope (lulled in to a false sense of security as we had sat the weather out for 2 days before we dragged when it picked up a bit more overnight with a nasty chop). </p>
<p>We subsequently laid a all rode kedge as a backup and had a succession of windsurfers come off in front of us as their skegs caught the rode when the load came on :-|</p> Dana Hayden said:

<p>I use a 30 kilo Buhgle (German design) 9mm chain without Anchor Buddy catanay on my Tiki 38 (Tapasya) which has held in mud at +105 Knots (confirmed) HOWEVER, this failed me in Bay of Islands by NOT setting deep enough in Sea Grass. After dragging at 0300hrs in wind and rain (of course) I had to cut it away (Being intimate with Steel yacht) I then motored boat onto beach (sand) then dropped over 25 kilo Manson supreme.

After dragging at 0300hrs in wind and rain (of course) I had to cut it away (Being intimate with Steel yacht) I then motored boat onto beach (sand) then dropped over 25 kilo Manson supreme. When trying to break it out next Morning, I had tied a line to roll bar, with thought of tripping it. No such luck. I had to get off and physically break it out ( in .5 metre of water, Tapasya draws 1.2 Metres ) That puppy sure did bite. I went and purchased a 15 kilo Supreme for my Kedge. Very happy. As I have now purchased a 37 ft Mono, ( moment of MADNESS, feel free to abuse/amuse me) I will be putting on the Bugle for Main Mud anchor, and doing same with Manson Supremes as #2 and Kedge, Cheers Wayne</p> Is anyone using one of these…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2011-12-01:2195841:Comment:651622011-12-01T15:07:18.802ZThomas Nielsenhttp://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/ThomasNielsen

<p>Thanks Kim, We have heard catty remarks about both anchors and I suspect you hit the nail on the head there. At least I can say, our anchor works and we are glad to have it. Have not seen any problems so far. Everybody with Rocna or Monson anchors please report any good or bad experiences. There are enough of us on this site to really have a good sampling if we get involved. </p>
