Subject: Re: Navy Style Anchor
This new anchor, USAS35/77-B, 35kg/77lbs ULTRA Side Pocket Anchor, literally saved our investment from much a lack of use. We never tested the anchor at our survey and assumed it would be OK (Greenline 48).
We are huge cruisers and are embarking on the Great American Loop next year from April. We were desperate for a solution. Talking to you at the boat show was the best thing I ever did for this boat.
We have been cruising and anchoring locally on weekends when not at work, for years. Since we purchased our Greenline 48 in January we were depressed about the bad anchor and felt that the only way we could get away with our boat was by rafting up to a friend with a better anchor, drop a heavy additional anchor along with our primary, or by booking a marina. The ironic part is that our vessel has 40Kwh of battery power so we don’t need to be at a marina to enjoy AC, normal appliances and much more on the hook without even using a generator. All that was wasted by not having a satisfactory anchor. We live in a boaters paradise and this anchor is our savior. 😊
The other day while cursing I noticed several bigger yachts with unsatisfactory stockless anchor designs on their vessels. I know that you guys can sell the heck out of this anchor.
Please don’t hesitate to sell it to Greenline members that write you on the side mentioning that they saw my posts. They will all love it. If there is anything I can do to help you guys out, just let me know.
Cheers,
Pierre
