I know for a fact that 6 424’s can be held in 15+ knots of wind in a mud
bottom with the Fortress. I’ll never laugh at one again. If you get it to
catch, you have a good anchoring. You have to be careful because it can skip
along the bottom easier than regular anchors that depend on weight to catch.
Weird timing on this. There¹s a similar discussion on ssca right now.

I will repeat what I said there, those two little bolts on a fortress scare
the hell out of me. NO WAY will you get me to hang my boat on a single 1/4
20 bolt. One good slide on rock or Coral and that anchor is coming apart.
And, anywhere you can get a fortress to set, you can get a Danforth to set,
and rest easy knowing you are laying on Welded steel instead of a 1/4 bolt,
a Nylock, and some Aluminum.
As to the OP, the correct amount of rope, would be 0 Unless you are using
it to attach a buoy 🙂
