Hi Lee,
I'm in Holland. 52.27.589N,5.02.578E. The wife and I
live aboard and are preparing our 50ft sloop and
ourselves for a nice trip.
The Rond Anchor is shaped like the letter "L" and is
used when mooring at a bank. Just stick the pointed
end into Rond (Rond is peat or soft earth). Stamp it
down with your foot and then tie the mooring line
through the ring on the Rond Anchor, just like at a
ring mooring.
I'll try to find out more about the Barge Roller.
At the time I put this in the database I quoted a
knowledgeable sailor....
Greetingz,
Len.
