Lee, Tamaroak, and Wayne,

Yes, I was hoping that Glenn would answer. We've got his web site
bookmarked.

How are you guys liking your Spades? What size did you get? Any
problems with your bow roller? How's the reset with big wind
shifts? We've seen the Practical Sailor tests and they're very
impressive, but they're not exactly "real world" conditions.


==============================================

I have the S100 which I bought as the primary anchor on a 22,000#
flybridge sportfish (lots of windage). It replaced a 44# Delta Plow
which had issues with setting and resetting. I regard the Spade as
the best all around anchor I've ever owned. In two years of heavy use
it never failed to set or reset regardless of bottom conditions. In
very soft mud however, it needs some time to settle in before you back
down on it.
