[PUP] That Anchor Thing . . . .

Time to select anchors . . . .

Our boat has twin hawes pipes forward.  No pulpit so a forward plow-type
anchor will not readily fit.  I wanted to have two different types of
anchors and selected a big fortress for one side of the boat, but now I need
to find an anchor for the other side.

Does anyone have any advice or experience -- good, bad, or indifferent about
either:

or, the

2.    Forfjord

These seem to be the two anchor alternatives, other than the Fortress, to
hang off the side of the boat.  Thanks for any thoughts.
