I have a Rocna 25 on my Hanse 430e. The anchor sets easily and has good holding power. However, after having asked Craig at Rocna I received the following: "You can drill a hole but we don't recommend it. Firstly, you reduce the strength of the shank by the % the hole's diameter is of the entire shank. Moreover, we do not like pins through the shank - they tend to bend too easily. The Rocna has a large fluke, and if solid water hits this at sea, it can bend the pin and so jam it. We have seen too many have to be hack-sawed! Better to lash the anchor with rope or use an over-the-top restraining bar." He also e-mailed me a picture of this solution, which required a bit of metal work. For now, I will keep the Rocna in the anchor box and bring it out when I need it. Cheers |

It isn't the same photo but you can see the latch next to the shank (in open position):
This is just recommended as superior to a pin. Naturally a 'pin' could also go over the top of the shank, so long as the anchor can be moved forward in the event the pin is bent and unable to be retracted.
A bit of lashing is the 'normal' solution.

Hey everyone,
I have one of the latest 371 and I am not very satisfied with the M-Anchor, but it seems, that fits no other anchor. I hope, I'm wrong. I also use the Gennaker Pole (well, stick). Which anchor do you use? Which fits there? Do you have pictures of your solution? Thank you, Christian

Hi,
There is a very interesting web site, Attainable Adventure Cruising, where discussion on anchors has gone on for a long time. Rocna is rated as a good anchor, but it seems that the Spade is judged as the best. People report of a resetting problem with the Rocna. The setting procedure is also pointed out as very important.

Thanks, Kristoffer, seems to be a good anchor.
But my main question was, if it fits? It is very tight at the bow.

Data -if it helps, the Rocna website advises that you should lash rather than pin the anchor to the roller so you don't need to bother with getting the holes on the roller and anchor lined up.
I fitted my H400 with a 20kg Rocna and although the holes do line up I lashed it instead with dyneema looping up from the underneath the roller and through the hole, both ends tied to the pulpit. While everyone will have their favourites, I've found the Rocna simply stunning compared to the previous Delta. It sets very easily in a variety of bottoms both initially and on turn of the tide and held solid in gusts of 40kts using a decent length of snubber. It's one of the few to have a proper attachment point for tandem anchoring but this is really meant for extreme conditions only. If you're interested, I found Amazon.de to be the cheapest by far; apparently they deliver anywhere in Europe and I got mine in the UK within 48 hours saving over £100 so I was doubly impressed. |
