Ganley S130

We're in the Solomons at the moment just about to head off to PNG tomorrow. We have been cruising the last 2 seasons and are heading up to Japan and Alaska next year. So we've done about 500 nights at anchor the last 2 years – all on the Rocna 33. I'm sure we would have been fine with a 25 but on the odd occasion where you anchor on thin sand on coral and you just have to rely on the weight of the anchor it is good to have the extra weight. We find with the Rocna that we can generally anchor with a scope of about 2.5:1 in water depths of 12 to 20 metres which are pretty typical up here in the islands. I have attached some photos but don't expect a pristine looking anchor as it is now looking well used!;– Peter Garden, owner SV Tokimata New Zealand
