Marin do you consider one fluke burried all the time "unset"?

As far as I know the best anchor for veering is the Spade. May have something to do w it's extremely low CG. Just from reading many anchor tests but most of the modern anchors veer quite well or are almost bulletproof.

I have no idea how well "stockless" anchors handle veering or reversals but I would guess quite well. The only stockless anchor I have is the Dreadnought and having used it only once all I can say is that it set instantly. But as far as I'm concerned keeping one fluke burried is not becoming un-set.
