Curious2 4 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hi all; I'm replacing the dead Danforth in my J/36 with a Fortress. The boat is four and a half hours away, so measuring the anchor is a problem. Can anyone tell me what size Fortress fits into the J/35 and J/36 anchor locker? I'm looking for the biggest practical pick. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahab in puget 16 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 fx-16 fit in my j35 anchor locker before I cut it out. the next size might fit as the there was some spare room. The Fx-16 is the rated anochor for the boat. If you want more holding power, I would just use more chain. The 16 works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure the 16 is what I had on my J/109 as well… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
