[Alberg30] Anchors?

[George Dinwiddie]

Randy,

I wouldn't buy a Bruce less than 22 lbs.  I've heard of many problems
getting the smaller ones to hold well, though larger Bruces have
a good reputation.  The Bruce anchor was originally invented to
hold oil rigs in the North Sea.  These are, of course, really large
anchors.  I think that perhaps the design doesn't scale down to
very small sizes.
