Happened to see this in a Practical Sailor email. I don't have a Rocna, so don't know anything about it, but thought I'd pass it along as I know some others do.

We bought a Manson Supreme partly because of this issue with Rocnas (but it didn't hurt that it was 40% less expensive as well). Good to see the new owners are addressing it, seemed like the company was in denial that there was even a problem despite reports of weak and bent shanks and metallurgy reports that indicated all was not well.
Bud, could you post a photo of your Manson resting in its bow roller? And what weight is it? Thanks.

there are 5 pictures of our anchors and an explanation of what I did and why. Both anchors are 45 lbs. I have the anchor locker lid home for the winter and am going to build a raised cover for the shank of the 2nd anchor.
