Just checked out AC, seems there is light grass and good holding so it won't give an accurate outcome, but I'll let you know none the less.
SARCA should be better.

Hop-you sell anchors. What do you answer when someone comes in and asks what anchor is the best?
The answer to that would be whatever anchor was in stock.
My Delta has also been good in grass.

Yeah, but what ever we'll at least be able to get it wet. I'll look out for the coral. I was also looking at the anchorage right on the other side of the island which has sufficient depth. BTW, any fishing around Great Sale?Oliver, unless it's blowing a gale, Great Sale Cay will not be a very good anchor test for your Rocna. You will probably be hanging out in the 7-8' of water area. I have never had a problem setting in that area. What to look out for is where the sand is thin over coral rock. That can be diffucult to set an anchor. You will find some of that close into the cays. Just take your dinghy out to see if the anchor is buried. The water is usually clear enough to see. I have a "lookie box" I use for that.

How much of failing in the grass is relative to size and weight? I can understand that as anchor size gets smaller it might be tougher to penetrate the bottom, but does that change with bigger anchors of the same type? Can't imagine a 2,000 pound anchor or most any style will have a problem cutting through the weeds.
I have a 30KG (67 pound) Bruce (real one, not a copy), and am wondering what to expect when I finally find some grass. So far it's been great; digs in first time every time; has never slipped; stays put when the wind changes 180 degrees; doesn't seem to mind the 60 degree swings my boat constantly does at anchor. What should I expect from it in grassy bottom?

Ask a man about his car and odds are he'll tell you it's great. Ask him about it after he's sold it and you might get a different story.
my Mason supreme had difficulty settings in grassy bottoms. admittedly at 45 pounds it was too small for my boat.my new mantus at a 105 pounds is way over size and sets the first time. I do sleep better on the hook now
Oliver, I should mention that John owns his own backhoe. You and your Dad can talk hole digging with him.
