Danforth makes a light weight anchor of aluminum so why not one made
from G10? It'd be lightweight fer sure and sure would not corrode.
Yeah, you'd prob have to weight the flukes to get em to set right but
I hear that the lightweight danforths have a problem skimming over the
bottom too without setting but once set are great.

Weight counts for a lot with an anchor. It improves the ability of
the anchor to get down quickly, and to penetrate the bottom quickly.
There is really no substitute for weight that is totally adequate.
Light weight anchors are fine once they are set properly but
everything up until that point is a compromise.
