Don’t get caught with an anchor that’s not stylish.

Post by Joe CD MS 300 »

Receive an email from West Marine for Lewmar anchors. Thought the wording was pretty funny.

“Lightweight, stylish anchor offers exceptional holding power, with a patent-pending adjustable fluke angle for faster setting in any seabed. Quickly disassembles for convenient stowage when used as a secondary anchor.”

Maybe I should paint my galvanized Rocha to match the hull so it will be a little more stylish.
Better to find humility before humility finds you.

I guess this isn't stylish enough? Maybe another coat of paint?

Anyone here have a special, stylish, anchoring outfit? I mean, you can't wear just anything when you enter an anchorage, and especially if you have a stylish anchor. How about this: https://cdnc.lystit.com/photos/36c0-201 ... ormal.jpeg

To me, a stylish anchor is one that stays put on the bottom. Looks great, feels great and makes me feel rich.
