    For what it is worth Ebb, I am typing this on my ipad from the anchorage off of Village Cay marina, RoadTown Tortola, in the BVI's. I have captained this 42' boat down from NC, and it has a 60# CQR that has failed to set several times. I wish I had brought the Manson off of Faith, because even at less then half the weight I would have more confidence in it.

    In the last 3 months aboard (only 2 nights in marinas), I have been reminded why I sold my CQR and bought the Manson.

    I have recommended the owner change anchors. The CQR was "better" before "better yet" came along.
