I recently moved my boat from CRW to New Bern, NC via the ICW. Several times we ran aground either because skipper error or shifting shoals that are impossible to keep up with unless you sail in them often.
Not surprisingly our Fortress 11 was pretty useless in grabbing the bottom when thrown as far as I could manage! They need to be dropped and then backed down on to grab the bottom--pulling them in after a toss just doesn't allow them to properly set. My crew suggested I get about a 5 lb. danforth that can be thrown pretty far but that will set better than a Fortress that tends to skip along the bottom in those circumstances. My question for the list is what 'throwable' anchor for this situation would you recommend? Charlie Nelson Water Phantom 1995 C&C 36XL/kcb See situations would you recommends?
