Another vote for Rocna, but ours is a Vulcan 73 lb. We anchor often between Bar Harbor and Narragansett Bay and are extremely pleased with it. We have 200 feet of 5/16" G4 chain and 300 feet of 5/8" 8 plait rope in our rode.



Our boat came with a 60 lb CQR and the difference between setting the two anchors is dramatic. The CQR always set gently, the Vulcan sets almost violently; I have to be careful not to back down too fast when setting it. That said, we never had any issues once the CQR was set, it just never inspired confidence.
