[Public-List] Mahseer anchor dragging in "Good Old Boat"

[Stephen Gwyn]

I just read about Mahseer, an Alberg 30 dragging anchor
in the January edition of Good Old Boat.

I'm mildly concerned since I have the same boat and
possibly the same anchor, namely a 15kg Lewmar Claw.
My personal experience with it is that it has never
even slightly dragged, even in 25-30 knot winds.
In fact, the next morning, since I don't have an
anchor winch, I had to tie a line to the anchor rode
with a rolling hitch and bring it back to a
jib winch.
