Hi guys,
Thanks for all the posts. Talking about anchors can be quite emotional I noticed :-)
Just to let you know, I bought a 7.5kg original Bruce anchor for £25 (2nd hand of course). I will give that a try this summer. I am not planning to anchor over night and I get more experience about...
I had a look around on the pontoons at Cardiff Bay Yacht club and most of the boats seem to have a CQR or a Bruce type anchor.... Another consideration for me is that there is not much space on the bow.
Thanks for the replies. Of course should have said which boat! I have a 26ft Etap. It had a small Brittany anchor when we bought her on the east coast last year. We are planning to go cruising this summer. The rocna seems to be a very good anchor but is quite expensive.
