"Recently I received my 15 lbs. "ton" anchor, for my 19 ft. ridged hull inflatible. I've been traveling and haven't been able to use it until today. I found my spot in the bay and just lowered the "ton" in the water, stretched out with my paper and enjoyed the afternoon. Very, very nice! Retrieval was no problem. I think you've got a good product here. Ralph"
Hi Tom, Just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am with the ton anchor. I sent the message pasted below to the editor of the Great Lakes Cruiser magazine, hope he runs it in the "Mailboat". Hope things are going well, tom lee Hi Bruce Thought I'd let you know the product endorsement you guys gave the Ton Anchor in last months Boat Toys column was well deserved. I was in the market for a decent anchor. Had been using a 13# Danforth style with 6' of chain on my 17' 1500# Seaward sailboat. There were a few reasons I wanted to replace it. I am often shorthanded and it was a difficult thing to set because my outboard has no reverse. It also was a beast to store. I ordered the 20# Ton for use as my primary anchor. I was a bit sceptical when it arrived a few days later. It appeared I had ordered a very expensive piece of plastic pipe, weighted at one end and cut like a sugar scoop on the other. The directions that accompanied it stated a chain was not required. Just secure the rope to the slide ring, drop it over the side, let it hit bottom and let out a 3 to 1 scope. The anchor sets itself as the boat drifts (and it really works). It was also easy to retrieve and I didn't have to worry about gouging the side of the boat or tangling in the lifelines. Thanks for the heads up. tom lee, Seaward 17, West Michigan
