I feel that someone needs to come to the defense of the
Bruce anchor. We 
had a
66# Bruce on our 44 Defever and now have a 110# Bruce
on our 46 Nordhavn 
and in
10K NM from SE Alaska to the Sea of Cortes they
both served us well. That's
not to say that the Rocna's are not good or
perhaps better but to say 
that the
Bruce is a poor anchor is not correct. 
 
 
Say what you will. But over and over again Bruce/claw anchors test poorly.
And seem to drag far to often and to easily in real life as well.
