Another Anchor Question....
 

Does anyone here besides Loco choose an anchor for it's looks? Loco actually
stated that he makes his anchor choice 25% for looks. I'm NOT making this up!
He actually posted it!
Now, I would truly love to have that "chromed anchor" but in the end I chose my
new newest Bruce Anchor 100% for it's ability to safely hold my boat. Is Loco
safe with his 25%? Should he perhaps drop it to 10%???

Bwahahahahhahaha! Loco, you really screwed your pooch on that one!!!

Wow, that trawler has really don't it job on you. It's best to use DOCK LINES
on a dock, Doug. The anchor is used elswhere.

Hope this helps!

What??? you actually chose the Bruce? I thought it was given to you! The
Bruce isn't as effective in a wide range of bottoms as the Delta, and its
heavier. Since you don't have a windlass its not the best choice. I bet you
thought it would look good on the bow!

Mine gets used in lots of different places. And I don't keep it on the
cabin top. Yours?

LOL! I have an anchor locker. You have a TRAWLER!

Bwahhahahaha! Nothing will ever top that, Doug. Your wife forced you into a
TRAWLER. Nuff said!

The delta was not an available choice. Several sailors at my marina use the
Bruce and love it. Weight of the anchor just isn't a factor for me as I can
lift just about anything easily. The Bruce is not on the bow, but do you think
the clams find it 25% more attractive than the Danforth?

I didn't realize you were so envious. My trawler is more boat than
you'll ever be able to afford, although I don't like to brag.

Actually it was my suggestion to get a trawler. For the kind of cruising
we do, it's a very sensible choice. Since you never go more than 1/2
mile from your slip, the logic evades you.

Doug, I'm pretty sure my new boat will be costing more than your trawler. Then
again, I know people with small boats and no cash who sail around the world.
Cash doesn't make you a sailor, Doug. Sorry! If you spent a lot on that
houseboat, it's only more embarrassing for you!

DUH ......... That's right ..... only 25%. The other more important reasons
were it's lightweight, high quality and it dissasembles. But you knew that.
