Neil, Ha! You have answered my question. I am an idiot! For some reason, I was thinking that a ton is 1000 lbs.
Too much metric, I guess.... Thanks!

Rob, I bought a Rocna 15 (33 lb) for my 35-1, which weighs (reportedly) 10,500 lb, and it works great. Looking at the Rocna chart for 33'/8,700 lb, (10m, <4t) the 22lb is the recommended size. Looks to me like you're in the right size range.

I just replaced my 33lb Bruce with a 22lb Rocna. The question is: Am I an idiot? The Rocna sizing chart suggests a 15kg (33lb) anchor for my displacement, but the website goes on and on about how conservative their ratings are. It looks like a 10kg (22lb) Rocna would be recommended for a 30ft boat displacing 7k or less. I would have gone for a larger Rocna, but it wouldn't fit (the shank is too long). My reasoning is that the 22lb Rocna will almost certainly outperform the 33lb Bruce. What say you? Rob H.
