There is a new anchor from New Zealand called the Rocna anchor. It seems to
be a combination of the Delta (shank), the Spade (fluke) and the German
Buegel anchor. The tests are quite promising. Have a look at it under

Peter,
I’ve had a look, and it looks like the best anchor one could have,
because indeed it is a crossover of Bügel, Spade and Delta. A problem
however seems to be the roll bar/bügel. On most standard Freedom
anchor catheads, the roll bar interferes with the closed front of the
cathead. I’ll have to see if my supplier is willing to order one in
the right size with the right of return, so I can ‘try it on’.

I first heard of this anchor when
following Steve Dashew’s postings on setsail.com. He switched to a ROCNA
after many years of very heavy Bruce anchors. I’d guess he was very
careful before doing so.
But I assumed the roll bar would be a problem
as you say. If you get one let me know how it fits.
I currently have a 44lb delta on my F-33. Much
happier then with the CQRs I used for many years on a previous boat and initially
on the F-33. Was thinking of an aluminum spade but just wasn’t completely
convinced of the aluminum construction.

Steve Dashew is a hard act to follow…but let me throw in my two cents. We have been at anchor for most of the last 8 months our our travels from Connecticut to southern Florida and back in our Freedom 30. Conditions have varied from crystal clear stillness to gale conditions…with many squalls in the forty knot + range (recorded on our B&G masthead unit). Our primary anchor is a Bulwagga 17 pound anchor…which I purchased on the basis of a Practical Sailor review. While it is a rather ugly piece of steel craft…it is a fantastic anchor. It sets quickly and holds tenaciously. Anchors have lots of fans and fanatics…and many have reached the status of acceptance…inspite of inconsistant and even dangerous performance. The Bulwagga has earned its place on our boat by real performance…when all hell was breaking loose just the other side our our little eggshell. Give it look. FargoF30#12

I’ve been very interested in the
Bulwagga especially due its potential performance in weed/grass. But its shape
presents challenges. How did you mount it?

Rocna has drawings with all sizes of their anchors; very convenient.
I’ll size things up and see if one fits, preferably the 25 kgs one.
If you have a 44 lbs Delta, I would stick to that; fine and good
sized anchor for an F33, I would think. I must say I never had
problems with my 35 lbs CQR on my F33/35 ck, but I never anchored in
extreme weather.

Mounting on an F30 is easy. The main shaft of the Bulwagga lays down in the standard bow fitting and the flukes clear the hull. A serious advantage to this anchor is weight. It is the best holding and best setting anchor under 20 lbs for this boat. We don’t have an anchor windless so weight is an issue (although a good night sleep in squally weather is much more important).
