Manson Supreme
The 35-pound Manson Supreme was certainly an unusual-looking entrant. It has a broad single fluke that was among the sharpest of the bunch, combined with a rigid shank and a roll bar. The shank is equipped with both a fixed-shackle attachment and a channel that allows a shackle to slide, reportedly making for easier retrieval. Manufactured in New Zealand, the Manson proves the Kiwis know anchors, as it set quickly each time and held to a maximum of 5,332 pounds, releasing and dragging only once. Quoted from West test Rocna The Rocna was designed and manufactured in New Zealand. The 33-pounder looks similar to the Manson, with a roll bar and sharp fluke, but lacks a channel in its shank for an alternate rode attachment. The anchor tended to drag at first but finally set each time and held once to 5,000 pounds. Quoted from West test Rocna 20kg (44#) $638 at Port Supply Manson Supreme 45# $445 at Port Supply Read the two paragraphs carefully and just based on this, which would you buy? Gordon |
