We have dragged all over the shop using a Lewmar Delta, that was great fun. We once anchored in the main Brisbane river right next to the CBD using 4:1 scope, with the outgoing tide we nicely exited backwards dragging over not one but two cross river energy cables, so that was awesome. Another time (with the same anchor) we were waiting on the up river side of a bridge waiting for the tide to drop fully so we could go under said bridge and looked out the window 5 minutes after setting the anchor to see we were careening at around 4-5 knots directly towards a very large and scary concrete bridge pylon.

So were are currently using this anchor as a large paperweight, although its possible in a small blow the paper will fly away if history is anything to go by...

We wanted to get a Rocna but couldn't afford that rates they wanted, then a mate said he brought an anchor off this place just-anchors and has been really happy with it, we havent ordered ours yet as we are still onshore finishing our rebuild but given they look to be around 50%-70% cheaper than the Rocna we and happy to give it a try. If anyone else has had one of these anchors we would love to hear about it as they look to be the same as a Rocna from what we can see.
