Our club is doing an anchoring class this weekend; so I was searching for some
used anchors locally "just in case" someone needed one.

I stumbled onhttp://www.slideanchor.com/box.asp-- is that for real?
no chain & 2:1 scope?

Has anyone actually used one of these? ?I was intregued by the clams, but
couldn't find any reviews online -- just marketing stuffs.


It seems to me that POWER BOAT REPORTS tested this one as part of a
multi anchor test maybe 8 or 10 years ago. I'll try and remember to
look it up while I'm at the office tomorrow. I'll post what I find.
If anyone is a current subscriber to PBR it might be possible to pull
it up. Maybe late 2000 or early 2001. I don't think it got good
reviews.

Looking forward to it. I can't see how the claims can be true by looking at
the anchor. Unless there is a concrete block put in the hole of course!

BTW, let's let the Harry thread drop.
