Default The answer ISN"T an electric or a bigger windlass

I agree with all of the above. I recall traying to anchor in ten feet of
water, a sand bottom and a strong current with a Fortress. Took 300 feet
of rode before it would bite. Our primary is a Delta 35. Never fails.
Backup is a Fortress 23 and also a lunch hook a Fortress 11. The 11 will
hold the boat very well if it sets.


Yes, of course it will. But to drop anchor and hold your breath to see if
it will set is no way to go even for a lunch hook
