Marin the non-burying types like my Dreadnought and the Navy anchors are quite another story. When a Navy anchor plows up a big pile of sand or whatever in front of it in a big way that pile acts like the bottom piled on top of a modern anchor and in a real way can be sort-of considered the weight of the anchor.

Burying and non-burying types are like planing and disp hulls. Way different.
