There are several threads on anchor upgrades, but most are C28 and Ranger tugs.
I'm looking to see if anyone has fit a:
1) Spade Anchor 33lbs (80 series): up to 41 ft. and under 14,330 lbs boat
2) Mantus Anchor 35lbs (not manson): up to 30-35ft 15,00 lbs boat (under 50kt wind sized).
Maybe..
3) Rocna 15: 33lbs, up to 30ft/ 22,00.
 
The Rocna 15 fits perfectly on our 2019 C30. No need for any modification to the roller or anything else. And it is a great and popular choice here in the PNW.

One minor thing to note is that when using mooring buoys there is a tendency for lines to get caught on it as the boat drifts overnight. I tape pipe insulation on its edges to reduce chafing there since it is slightly sharp (not really, but still has a not-entirely-blunt edge).
 
10-4 on the Rocna 15. As stated previously it's a perfect fit and a great holding anchor especially up here in the PNW. Love the anchor and so easy to do the remove and replace.

Don’t have a C30 (R29 CB) but really happy with my S80. The u-shaped safety latch that keeps the standard anchor from falling in case the chain comes loose doesn’t work because of the shape of the anchor so I just tie a line to the chain and cleat as a safety measure.

The Rocna 15 fits perfectly on the CW 30, and has worked flawlessly for me. The only problem is when attached to a buoy with a bridle. Because the Rocna hangs down with a sharp edges it can chafe the bridle line easily

FYI, my 2018 C30 took my Mantus 35lb M1 perfectly! No mods made.

Here is a picture if helpful. Really happy with the anchor’s holding power.
