We have a Rocna 15 kg anchor on our 32. It has held always even in strong headwinds and is easy to deploy.

Hi Tracy,

There are probably no better anchor performance reviews than those produced by Steve Goodwin.

He looks at multiple factors including self-launching.

Absolutely worth digging in and watching his tests.

Hello,
Thanks for the comments on my previous emails as I get batter acquainted with HAMLET 32-116.
I’m curious what other 32 owners with original bow pulpits are using for their anchor ⚓️. This boat had a 26# lewmar plow. I switched to a 33# claw style. Sadly the new anchor doesn’t self deploy, needs a kick out of the pulpit, and this new anchor doesn’t hold as well a in the sand of Hampton Roads as I would like.
If you have an original 32’ pulpit and an anchor that holds well in the sand, please share your information. Self deployment gets big bonus points.
Thanks
