T&T: cqr anchor

[Balamar@aol.com]

When I cruised the Carribean and Mexico for many years anchoring in sand  the 
CQR was great but now that we are trawlering up and down the east coast I  
found my 60 lb CQR would not hold in the mud.  We sold it and bought a 66  lb 
spade.  I highly recommend this spade over the genuine CQR  It's  sharp point 
penitrates hard or soft bottoms and its scoop shape loads up with  the botom 
rather than plowing it out of the way.  I think practical sailor  agrees with me. 
 Shop around on the web. Defender matched my $800 price I  found there.
Just a satisfied custermer. usual disclaimers.  BTW I also Have a 50  lb 
supermax that I really like to use in soft bottoms.
