The Rocna 13 lb (6 kg) galvanized anchor is a roll-bar scoop design with a chisel-like tip and no moving parts. It is made from tempered 800 mPa high tensile steel with a hot dip galvanized finish over the whole surface. The range is RINA certified as Super High Holding Power, and the maker adds a lifetime warranty against breakage or deformation. Size is picked from the vessel's length and displacement using the maker's chart.
Our take
The roll bar on this 13 lb Rocna turns the anchor to its setting attitude however it lands, so you are not relying on a lucky drop. With no moving parts in the shank or head, there is nothing in the anchor itself to jam or wear.
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.
