Then I realized why! They size them twice the size of other anchors! My boat calls for a 15 kg Bruce for 60 knot winds.
A 35# CQR. (16 kg) and
A whopping 33 kg for Rocna!

So does this mean the Rocna design is so lousy it takes twice the weight to work properly?

I guess by this logic, the Delta is the best anchor, since it is one of the lightest with it's recommendations.
