So.....why not make a Delta style anchor from composite material with
metal edges and somehwat weighted point but a composite shank and body
for low weight. The holding power of plow anchors is not a function of
their weight but of their surface area.
You can buy an aluminum Spade anchor which is comparable to what you
are proposing, perhaps even better.
A well designed anchor will
penetrate the bottom even if it is lighter than a less well designed
one.
That's true to a certain extent but there is no question that weight
helps.
