After anchoring and deciding that the anchorage was uncomfortable, the electric windlass with engine assistance was set to work and the Danforth came up in this state. The replacement is at present a 10Kg Lewmar Delta which is over 2Kg lighter than the Danforth, but it was the biggest available 'off the shelf' at the chandlery at time. The other option was the 28lb CQR kedge anchor in the locker …..
The Delta seems to work as well as the Danforth and seems to set in its own 'length' but I'm now looking at the various types of anchor trying to work out what is best and dragging up various threads on YBW, but I do loose the will to live at times with these as they do seem to run into 10's of pages ……………
I don't want to start another anchor thread but the Delta is a much newer design than the Danforth imho.
