This is the 154 lb (70 kg) size of the Rocna original anchor, a roll-bar and scoop design with a hot dip galvanized finish. Its sharp, chisel-like tip is made to cut into weed, grass and kelp, and the anchor is tempered 800 mPa high tensile steel. Rocna backs it with a lifetime warranty against breakage or deformation. The maker picks the size from vessel length and displacement, says to take the larger model when in doubt, and has multihulls size as a monohull and then go up one size.
Our take
Rocna sizes the 154 lb (70 kg) model by vessel length and displacement together, so you need both numbers before choosing. If in doubt the maker says to take the larger model, and multihulls are told to go up one more size.
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.
