ROCNA Hot-Dip Galvanised Anchor

I've had several anchors over the years and never thought I would ever spend so much money on one, but I saw this at a decent price and bit the bullet.It's extremely well made, and the fitting guide on the rocna website made it easy to work out if it would suit my boat.I've used it 3 times, no storms yet but it held perfectly in a previously problematic anchorage in 20-25kts wind.I wouldn't say it's the best anchor in the world as I haven't tested them all but it's certainly much much better than any anchor I've ever owned .

A good anchor which came when forecast, well packaged ( bit too well as took a while to unpack. Delivered with no additional customs paperwork just delivered as normal.

Great product at a fantastic price, delivered a week early in suitable packaging. Now fitted to my boat and ready for use

For info, I went for the Rocna 20kg for a 11m, 7 tonne Sailboat.Anchor appears to be a good quality item. Kiwi Design, made by a Canuck Company in PRC. Go figure! Not used yet, but will do once I've modified the bow of our boat to fit this without damaging anything.I was beginning to think I'd never see this and it took 4 attempts to get this to me... the longest I've ever waited for an anchor. But it's finally here and I look forward to using it... I've deducted a star because of the shackle slot, which in my view severely weakens this part of the anchor, critical as it's where the chain attaches and could cause some proprietory anchor swivels/connectors to jam and dig in. I know there is a reason for the slot but it's ruled out direct attachment of my preferred chain atachment device without further components. I'll re-rate if I find the slot makes things better for me in use.

This was such a bargain. Half price compare to the chandler's around me. Genuine Rocna

Driver wrapped loudly on window. Didn’t see obvious bell. Item left on doorstep. Driver away quickly. Speedy delivery but driver was not good at all. Packaging damaged also. I know the anchor will work well , I have two now. Amazon need to sort better drivers maybe ?

Delivery was appalling. It looked like it had been thrown on the floor with the box ripped open and contents left on the path.

Item is as described, its really strong anchor. Have not tried yet but its a Rocna after all.My only complaint is the delivery which took a month and a half which considering its it was spllier from amazon directly and not a third party this was very disappointing!!!
