JimH,
So in your experience, the Fortress set as easily as a heavier Danforth? In
my experience, the Fortress was great once it was set, but you had to work
harder to get it set.

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.


As will all danforth type anchors.
