Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor

2016-06-11 Thread Gary Kolc via CnC-List 
Well I returned the cut down anchor back and found another one at a consignment 
store in Newport. This was a HD 20 Danforth with the stickers still on it never 
been used $100. I do not have a locker we hang it from the bow pulpit. I do not 
mind that the stock is full size.  We keep the bottom conditions in mind when 
anchoring and have never had a problem with a Danforth. I am aware of its 
limitations but as I have no windless I cannot get anything real heavy.
