The Rocna ROCORG015GS is the 33 lb (15 kg) galvanized size of the roll-bar, scoop-style Rocna anchor. The roll bar turns the anchor to the right attitude for setting, and the tip is shaped to penetrate weed, grass and kelp. It is made of tempered 800 mPa high tensile steel with a hot dip galvanized finish. The slotted attachment point passes a shackle head, and the maker gives a lifetime warranty against breakage or deformation.

Our take

The roll bar on the 33 lb ROCORG015GS turns the anchor to the correct attitude for setting, and the hot dip galvanized finish covers the whole surface, inside the hollow roll bar too. The maker picks the size from vessel length and displacement, so check the chart.

From our buying guide

The Coast Guard does not regulate anchors, so no anchor carries its approval. Each maker sizes on its own assumptions, so a size on one chart does not translate to another.

Check before you buy:

  • You know what wind the maker's chart assumes. Rocna's assumes 50 knots and Fortress's 30 knots.
  • It fits your bow, since makers say some designs fit bow rollers, bow pulpits or bowsprits better.
  • The type suits your bottom. A Coast Guard Auxiliary article says the right type depends a lot on your boat, your anchoring and the make-up of the bottom.
