Has anybody else had issues with Delta type anchors failing to hold in soft mud?
After reading a few anchor tests I put a new 16 kg Delta on my 31 footer thinking it was overkill but should be super effective given that I use all 10 mm all chain rode and usually put out at 6 times the depth or more. Despite this I have had real difficulties setting it in areas with soft mud where the old Manson plow would have been as happy as a pig in the black stuff. The areas were Refuge cove and the Lane Cove River where it is really super soft sludge.
I am thinking of dropping tandem anchors in these areas in future by attaching my 6kg Bruce to the front of the Delta with a short chain. Is this the way to go? or should I pick up another plow or spade to use in these conditions?
Any advice or comments would be great.
Thanks
Bill
