Gerg,
More than brand of anchor this probably is a sea bed problem.
The most variable and troublesome aspect of anchoring.
The CQR’s problem is mostly setting IMO. Most all anchors work quite well holding but several (or more) don’t set well. Watching Steve’s vids I’m mostly impressed w the Super Sarca. But every anchor has a favorite sea floor to work with and an anchor that dosn’t need a lot of chain or-and scope is a blessing because all the chain you don’t need can be factored into anchor weight.
However I’m not very sold on bigger is better. One should think about “how much better”. Anchor design is clearly most important. And if you keep adding to the anchor weight factor or chain weight or even scope as one increases the value of the variable there comes a point where more chain, scope, anchor weight or size delivers little (and eventually nothing) to performance.
