Description
I put a Rocna 20 on my bow in preparation for a trip 'down east' and it earned its keep on the night I arrived in Maine. I was picking my way through a mooring field full of expensive sailboats and I managed to wrap a line around my prop. I immediately dropped the Rocna to avoid drifting into one of my fancy neighbors. After deciding that it was too cold and dark to go diving, I spent the night on the hook with very little scope due to the large tidal range and my position in the mooring field. The anchor held fast throughout the night.
Later on in the week, the Rocna allowed us to anchor close to the shoreline in some beautiful coves. I installed a Lewmar roller (model # 66840009) that has two wheels. It allows the Rocna come home easily and stow without rattling.;- Bill Sullivan, SV Patience (1968 Allied Seawind 30, hull # 105), Old Saybrook CT USA
