Doesn't anybody here know why the Fortress exists? It is aimed at a
very
specific market for which it is the best anchor on the market for it's
intended
purpose.

And that's what I said. Doesn't mean I'd use one for cruising in the
Carib. But it works for me because it's lightweight, works in the
Chesapeake and has held my boat all night through some nasty
thunderstorms. It's a quality product.
