Hi Danny,
This is very good advice from Andy.
It is what I was going to say. :)
I have slept a hundred peaceful nights (or more)
secured, with the original CQR. Check the name
again, cqr, secured. No coincidence.
Cheers, Russ

Danny, I think the CQR will suffice nicely. Get
another anchor when you think you'll need it.

Hello all,
Â
Speaking of anchors, Â I bought a 33lb Rocna for
my Viking 33 and never even deployed it. I
kept the anchor and it is sitting in my
shed. Rocna recommends a 44lb anchor for the
new boat. The new boat came with a Genuine, Made in Scotland CQR.
Â
I really can't see any use for the Rocna on the
new boat as it is not rated for it. I thought
about using for a lunch hook but, that doesn't
make any sense either as it is pretty heavy,
taking the convenience factor out of a lunch hook.
Â
I'm not sure what to do with the Rocna... Sell
it and use the proceeds for the larger
Rocna? Is that silly given the boat already
has an appropriately sized CQR? We hardly ever
anchor and usually get moorings wherever we
go. I'm thinking that will change over time
but, we do like the convenience of just grabbing
a mooring ball and I think the CQR should suffice for the next season at least.
Â
Anyway, just looking for some insights.
Â
Thanks,
Danny
