I'm one of the new converts to the Rocna and I am amazed at how well it
works.

The Rocna looks to me like a Spade with a roll bar. Are there any
other significant differences?

I've been using Spades on 2 different boats over 7 years and have been
very happy with them.

So...this means I can weld a 'roll-bar' on my pair of old CQR's? :-)

I see the smiley, so I know that this was in jest, but the shape of the CQR
and the Rocna are completely different. You can see a photo of a CQR he

and the Rocna he

As you can see, the Rocna is an inverted plow.

Regarding Wayne's question about the differences between a Spade and the
Rocna, I will simply point you to

http://www.rocna.com/press/press_0612_wm_ym_testing.pdf

as it does a much better job of describing the various differences between
anchors than I can.
