SO32 Anchor fitment (not anchor wars!)

[mikebz]

Has anyone fitted a Rocna or Manson Supreme anchor to their SO32, and if so does it fit/work with the standard bow roller OK?

I know there are 'anchor wars' all over the internet, so I don't want this thread to become a discussion of the merits/demerits of competing anchor brands/types, it's just about how they fit the boat!

I use a Cobra 12 kg anchor on my SO32. I damaged the bow by using it frequently, because the anchor roller isn't suitable for any serious anchor. First I tried to solve it by using a protection cover on the bow, but that wasn't very succesfull. Finally I installed a stainless bowsprit with an anchor roller integrated. Now it works fine.

At least it states it is UK made , but very little other info. Perhaps an honest mistake but the advert above says 15Kg yet he is also advertising a 25kg for just £10 more one apparently using the same photos at:

It looks like a very blatant Rocna copy.
