Our club is doing an anchoring class this weekend; so I was searching for some
used anchors locally "just in case" someone needed one.


I stumbled onhttp://www.slideanchor.com/box.asp--is that for real?
no chain & 2:1 scope?


Has anyone actually used one of these? *I was intregued by the clams, but
couldn't find any reviews online -- just marketing stuffs.


Seems like an interesting idea but at that price I'm not inclined to
experiment.


Yeah, but the lift is in the front, not the back like a spade anchor.
It would lost half of its grip at first tug when the front forks
lifted out, then it is just a small anchor with a lot of extra metal..
just my opinion...
