yea - my working
anchor is 110LB.
I was looking for something around 180LB for storms, and short
scope tight
anchorages, etc...
But,I decided to get this - not so much choice.
As long as I can get it "rollered" I will be very happy and secure with this for
hurricane and high latitude cruising. Have new dual gypsey windless to easily deploy/retrieve both/either, etc
I also believe in the philosophy of a poster /cruiser from this site(if I remember correctly). They did much high latitude cruising in a
monohull and then many years later in a chris white cat. To paraphrase from memory "When people laugh at the 'large' size of your anchors when you arrive at a location, then you are getting close to the right size".
At the other end of the spectrum there was a French couple on a 44' cat here 2 weeks ago. The main/only anchor was a round 30lbs...
