JimH,
It is a FX 16, which is one anchor higher than recommended for my boat The
reason I only use it for a lunch anchor is I am concerned that the anchor
might break loose if the wind changes. Without the weight I am not
comfortable that the anchor will reset on it's own.

I have found once the anchor is set, it will hold it's own under load, but
if the wind changes 180 degrees it will break free.

Gould,
I think the Fortress makes a nice lunch hook in calm waters.


They are a true working anchor that never failed us on Lake Erie, not just
a nice lunch hook in calm waters.

Which Fortress do you own?
