Hi All,
My brother, who sails a 24'er, recently went to a Manson Supreme anchor. He highly recomends the anchor to me for Osprey (CD22). Do any of you have any experience with this anchor that you could share? Manson recomends the 15 lb model for this size boat. I am also interested in the chain size and length.

Fishhawk,
You might be interested in reading Dr. Bob's anchor tests, which included the Manson Supreme.

BTW, I have one on my boat, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I like the Manson enough to replace a smaller Delta with the 22 lb for the CD 25.
The only problem is that I will have to remove the bale--this is not a big issue, and I do believe it is an excellent anchor.
