Looks like the original Bruce was not available for this test, but the Lewmar copy did poorly. A real Bruce may have performed better:...
From Yachting Monthly: The genuine Bruce has not been made for very many years. It was made from cast steel, a strong and tough material. A huge...
Why Bruce? Poor holding power. Yes, you said the Rocna won’t fit, but better to modify the anchor platform and or pulpit than getting a heavy...
If in doubt, there is no doubt: I would veer off if it looked dicey and too close on degrees and angles, especially if so. He is coming up your...

It is my reflection and my experience, only new boat I ever purchased Some of the stuff was obviously addressed before delivery, but I was not...
Good idea using a surveyor on a brand new boat, no great idea... I bought a new boat 3.5 years ago, hired my favorite surveyor before accepting...
