Page 3: About Your Rocna Or Vulcan And Its Features
The Rocna and Vulcan are new generation anchors developed in New Zealand. Best described as fast setting super high holding designs, a genuine Rocna or Vulcan is the world’s best anchoring solution for your vessel. The Rocna anchor range was designed to address the limitations shared by all older and most newer anchors available. - Page 4 About roll-stability Once a Rocna or Vulcan is set, it is designed and tested to remain buried even under high loads. Many other anchors will roll or “trip” out when overloaded, but a Rocna or Vulcan will remain embedded and maintain its attitude.

Page 5: How To Use Your Rocna Or Vulcan
How to Use Your Rocna or Vulcan Shackles and attaching rode Your Rocna or Vulcan has a slotted attachment point, meaning that a single shackle may be used. You should select the largest shackle size the pin of which will fit through your chain end-link. Loop your shackle head through the shank shackle attachment point, fastening the pin through the end link in your chain. - Page 6 A twin roller system is ideal. Secondly, the angle at which the Rocna or Vulcan rests when pulled home will affect how easily it will slide forward. Lastly, a long length of chain suspended between the shank and your boat’s windlass may be heavy...
- Page 7 There are many variables and common sense should dictate. Using your anchor in rock The Rocna and Vulcan are not designed as a specialist rock anchors. This is not to say that they will not perform in rock; they will find a rock or crevice to hold onto just as well if not better than any other type.
- Page 8 ‘backward’ using the retrieval line. Rocna: the line may be attached by shackle to the buoyed retrieval line attachment point. Vulcan: the line may be fed through from the top, and a figure-of-8 knot tied in its end such that the line is securely stopped.
- Page 9 It is ideal to lash your anchor with rope when underway. The Rocna features a dedicated lashing point, and the tandem anchor attachment point may be used on both the Rocna and Vulcan. On the larger sizes we do not recommend that these holes be used for restraining pins, as a wave hitting the anchor at sea could bend and so jam the bar.

A float shackled to the dedicated retrieval line attachment point at the heel of all Rocna anchor flukes is the ideal recovery system, offering the best chance of a successful recovery in the event of a fouled anchor. -
