Cheers timebob, the reason why I ask is I'm gonna change the rope that was sent in with the anchor to the very one you've used but I wondered if 2.5mm would either be big enough or to big and to be honest after seeing yours I'm still not sure

after pudding the anchor ring you got a job getting rope through. it will only go through the
ring once.

Actually  I've just had a look at an anchor which is on the victory now. Now, I know it is a replica anchor but the dimensions should be roughly the same, yes?, and assuming they are it looks like the ring is to small and not the rope being to big!!

I think the rope thickness is pretty good, but the ring as you say is a little too small, Ive just compared your anchor and rope to longridges (picture taken a few years back), maybe you could fashion some thin'ish wire to make the ring bigger?

AFter puddening the original ring I also discovered the ring was too small. I used McKays Anatomy of Victory to compare the ring size and made a new larger ring out of copper wire. I will post pics in my build thread.
