Robert,
Going back and looking again at the Ronca chart I can see I made a
similar blunder. I was thinking 1 ton = 2000 lbs --- but the Ronca
chart is actually metric (New Zealand) - so 1 ton is actually 1000
kg - or 2200 lbs.
As I look at it now I was looking at several different anchors - and
was focusing on 30 ft and ~9000 lbs loaded - rather than 9m and ~4
metric ton.
I bet the 10 would fit easier on my deck - do you know the size
difference in the shanks? Given I got mine for Xmas and it's not
wet yet I'll see if they might allow a trade

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.

My C&C 30 MKII displaces about 8,700 lbs unladen. 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?
