New Generation Anchor

[craigsmith]

Maybe the Rockna is destined to influence all anchors hereafter. Elegant, strong, good looking, and versatile. Anchors are like stone age spearheads.
When the fluted Clovis point finally appeared after thousands of lifetimes of flaking tools for survival it changed everything suddenly. Those who went with Clovis became modern man and those who didn't ended up on the rocks of Time.

That is a nice sentiment ebb, thank you.

Do you feel the same about the Supreme you ordered?

When we order an important piece of safety equipment from a dealer and/or manufacturer, technical information is of prime importance.
You know, and the whole thing has to be laid out.
Nobody should have to make any assumptions about technical excellence or indeed the technical honesty of an anchor.

But you most certainly do have to. What technical information do you consider of prime importance? Are independent appraisals of that information available? Regarding construction, are you an expert in steel fabrication techniques? Welding? Steel grades? Even if you know your stuff, most consumers most certainly do not.

There are no standards with anchors, which we think is a tragedy since an anchor is really a safety device (as you say). Cheap imports, Chinese copies of Bruce, CQR, and Danforth, flood the market with impunity.

"You get what you pay for." is untrustworthy as well.

"You get what you pay for" is not a subjective statement. It is a measure of relativity. What we mean is:

We do not know of any anchor, from any company in any country, that is a "rip-off"; in other words, the price of every anchor is more or less fair. The price represents what has been invested in its construction. You may decide that money has been spent where you don't want it, but that is your choice.

But the 25# Rockna cost more than twice as much as the anchor that does the same as the Rockna. Why?.

An excellent question. What do you think the answer is?
