T&T: Anchor Size Recommendations

[Keith]

Bruce anchors are a poor choice in mud. About the only time I've ever drug
was with a Bruce on the maiden voyage home in my Krogen. The boat didn't
have a Danforth style at all, which works really good in mud. Every test
I've ever seen puts Bruce squarely at the bottom for holding power in mud. I
can't speak to other bottom types.

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.
