Any particular reason for preferring the Delta?Â* Bruce anchors have a
reputation for setting very quickly.Â* I had a Delta for a while on my
old boat but sold it after an experience where it failed to reset
after pulling out.Â* Spade and Rocna have both become very popular in
recent years because they set well and hold well, even with wind and
current changes.Â* Two years ago we road out hurricane Matthew using a
combination of a 90 pound Rocna on all chain, and a 65 pound Bruce on
7/8ths nylon.Â* Both held very well in winds over 70 knots.



How convenient that a fellow asks a question and you have an answer
ready to post...don't forget to tell him how much water your barge
draws and how large the fuel tanks are, too. He'll surely be
impressed, w'hiner.


Your green tint doesn't become you Harry.



There's no conservative here who has what I value most.


What's that, harry? A wife who financially supports you and is willing to put everything into her maiden name to hide your assets?

I can certainly see why you would value that.
