the top gripping teath plate will have lifted up when a large rope was used (maybe when lifting the anchor ) if you play with it it will return to it's closed and correct postion regards David

anchors

the new 35 comes with 15kg bruce which does not have good reviews in the UK. :?: Jens has said that he can fit an aluminium spade anchor which at 8.5kg would reduce bow weight . has anybody had a go with one or has a view ?
