What size is your new Rocna anchor?







Looks good.



73 pounds - 22Kg.



Look through the other anchor section pix and you'll see it clearly...

There's a math error in there someplace.



1 Kg = 2.2 lbs.



Maybe 33 Kg ?

Quite right. Sorry about that.

That should hold you OK in winds up to 50 or 60 kts assuming well set
in a good bottom, lots of chain, and reasonable protection from waves.
One of the nice things about the Spade and Rocna anchors is that they
rarely trip out on wind and current shifts. In 25,000 nautical miles
of cruising our Spade has only dragged once (poorly set in a grassy
bottom). It did come up chain fouled once after some major wind
shifts but it never dragged.
