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.

How convenient that a fellow asks a question and you have an answer
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.

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.

It was a classic example of 'Airree trying to drive away any newsgroup
content that doesn't center on him. Of course he'll deny it.

Maybe it's time for another review of narcissistic behavior for the
benefit of newcomers:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662

The Mayo clinic sums things up rather succinctly. Perhaps most
telling is this paragraph:

----------------------------------------------
When to see a doctor
People with narcissistic personality disorder may not want to think
that anything could be wrong, so they may be unlikely to seek
treatment. If they do seek treatment, it's more likely to be for
symptoms of depression, drug or alcohol use, or another mental health
problem. But perceived insults to self-esteem may make it difficult to
accept and follow through with treatment.

Sold it last season. Considered a 30-foot Beneteau pseudo-trawler for
awhile...but then we started talking about retiring in a few years and
relocating to Hilton Head. Went fishing there with a guide who uses a
17-foot boat and small outboard and caught and released lotsa fish from a
half dozen inshore spots in and around the island. Easy boating, easy
fishing. Don’t need more than that from a boat. When we want to cruise to a
different part of the country, we’ll do it on a plane.



So apparently you hardly ever used the twin Volvo powered trawler, eh?

Say what? We took some “cruises,� but usually just used it in and around
the Bay, down to Va Beach, up to Cape May. Spent many long weekends
sleeping aboard around the Bay. Almost invited Herring out, but came to my
senses.

I think we’ll be shopping for a building lot in Hilton Head or a new
builder house we can customize as it is built. We’re working with a realtor
on the relatively long term plan.

My main requirement for a small inshore boat is that it can accommodate a
decent Bimini top and is stable enough to cast from a front deck.


But you don’t fish. . .

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.

===

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?

There is another relatively new anchor called a Manson Supreme that
also looks like a Rocna knockoff. Spade anchors really started the
whole thing over 15 years ago followed by Rocna. They are both fairly
similar except that Spade uses a lead ballast pocket to ensure that
the anchor lands on its feet, and Rocna uses a roll bar to flip it
over if the anchor lands upside down. They are both very good based
on my experience, and we anchor out a lot in many different
circumstances.

7/8ths nylon.Â* Both held very well in winds over 70 knots.



How convenient that a fellow asks a question and you have an answer
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?Â* 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.

How wonderful for you.

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.

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****.

It's true. imaginaryboats.com is a dead site.
