...and it seems they are referring to metric tons on the table which is actually just over 2200lbs so your even better off! Danny

Date: Wed, 06 May 2015 06:39:50 -0700 Mark, I have since learned (with Neil's help) that I actually do have the correctly sized Rocna for my length and displacement. For a 9m boat, the 10kg Rocna is recommended provided that displacement is less than 5 tons, or about 10,000 lbs. For some silly reason, I was calculating as if a ton was 1000 lbs, rather than 2000 lbs.

I got stuck on the same issue. My CS 30 lists at 8000 lbs Went back and forth as it felt like I was landing right in the gap. But decided that I'd rather have a little extra. I'm not in an area where I'll be overnighting in marinas - so I figure the extra security will help me sleep. I was able to borrow a Ronca 15 from another lister, walk across the parking lot and do a rough test in my bow roller. Didn't have a 10 for comparison. Haven't gotten the Ronca wet yet - so no idea on performance.

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.
