Peter, i agree with Ed about the Fortress anchor. He has the large one that can be used as a primary anchor. I got only a 10 lb. one as i only use it as a stern anchor to swing the stern around in rolly anchorages. I have 3 primary anchors in the bow, but i sure don't want to set them or try to retrive them from a dinghy. Also buy or make a cavass bag to hold the anchor in, along with about 10 feet of chain. You can put the anchor together in 5 minutes. 7/16 or 1/2 inch line is all i use. we're leaving Panama next week. My wife went to a 3 week school in Antiigua, Guatemala to learn spanish. She loved it. Life should be much easier now. John "Moondog" SM 248
