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.

ready to post...don't forget to tell him how much water your barge
draws and how large the fuel tanks are, too. He'll surely be
impressed, w'hiner.


Your green tint doesn't become you Harry.



There's no conservative here who has what I value most.

What's that, harry?* A wife who financially supports you and is
willing to put everything into her maiden name to hide your assets?

I can certainly see why you would value that.

Heh, no kidding.


I can hardly wait for him to tell us how he sold the imaginary twin
engined Volvo for more than he paid for it.


A handsome profit, for sure.



I didn't get scalped, but unfortunately the company that built the boat
went under, and it became an orphan.

You should have bought a Grand Banks. They are still very handsome
yachts and very much in demand. You can get a nice new one in the 50
foot range for about $2m give or take.



Kinda tough to fish the creeks around Hilton Head Island in a barge like
that. Hell, aren't they made in China?

Mine was made in Singapore.

Creek fishing is fine if you ike that sort of thing. You could use
just about anything that would float your bulk.

Nice snarky remark BTW, 'Airree Ar'sl. This may actually turn out to
be one of the longest, more or less on topic, threads in recent
memory. Well done everyone.

If you took The John out, he'd want to bring along his bowl of turds. Then your boat head would be clogged until you found someone immune to the stench who could clear the blockage. Hardly worth the trouble.

Dumb, but not a surprise.

You are implying I am jealous of w'hine? That's really funny. There's
nothing about Wayne, his boats, or his life that have the slightest
appeal for me. There's no conservative here who has what I value most.

Ah. That explains your unsolicited response to Wayne's post. Not.


I have no interest in wayne's style of boating and apparently you don't,
either, since you sold off the large boats you owned and apparently
hardly ever used. When we retire to Hilton Head, assuming I am still
above ground, I'm going to go small with boating, and pick up a 16' or
18' inshore fishing skiff of some sort, perhaps a flat-bottomed Amesbury
style dory that will fit on its trailer in the garage and be powered by
a 25 hp or so outboard.

So does that mean your twin Volvo powered trawler is up for sale?



Sold it last season.

100% bull****.
