RiverCruiser,
Sounds like the Fortress is serving you well.
Probably shouldn't use the windlass at all to break out a deep set anchor.
Dwhatty,
Yup the Rocna and Manson Supreme are similar in most ways. I use the Manson mostly because of it's better short scope performance but the Rocna seems to have the edge on holding and probably (not really sure) faster setting. Is the bow storage and deployment features keeping you from using the Fortress all the time?
Marin,
Fortress is under rating their anchor? Don't forget the Fortress is aluminum. To get the required fluke surface area a much lighter Fortress should be required.
