Any particular reason for preferring the Delta? Bruce anchors have a
reputation for setting very quickly. I had a Delta for a while on my
old boat but sold it after an experience where it failed to reset
after pulling out. Spade and Rocna have both become very popular in
recent years because they set well and hold well, even with wind and
current changes. Two years ago we road out hurricane Matthew using a
combination of a 90 pound Rocna on all chain, and a 65 pound Bruce on
7/8ths nylon. Both held very well in winds over 70 knots.

Have you checked out Mantus anchors?

I have not personally tried a Mantus but I know they are getting good
reviews in some circles. To my eye they look a lot like a Rocna with
a somewhat sleeker roll bar. How about you?


Nope. Just seen reviews.

I thought both of those designs would do well on a muddy bottom, but questioned how they’d grab in lrocks...

In rocks, the problem is usually getting it to let go ;-)

Yeah, either way. Hard to grip, hard to ungrip.
