We have a 55 foot Bavaria. I did a test by Pine Island, where I set the anchor on 30mph winds. The anchor set within 30 seconds to 1min of dropping it in and we stayed in place for a good hour. We changed location a few times to test it in different situations, and the results were more or less the same. My wife loves the design, and how light it is even though we drop it via a bow roller. It gets friends asking what type of anchor it is given it's unusual design, so it's also definitely a conversation starter as well! All around, I can highly recommend it given it's strength when setting and holding which is the most important.

Purchased for our family's sailboat in West Palm Beach, Florida. XYZ is a lightweight and effortless anchor that grips well in sand and clay bottoms flawlessly. Kept us secure and stable while having lunch out in the open ocean, I'd highly recommend it (and already have to several folks down at the club).

Super lightweight anchor that frankly is hard to believe will grip so well, but in the end has served us well for dozens of outings without a single problem. It sets almost immediately (via a bow roller) and stays set without flaw even when the winds are strong. I also use it for docking and tie downs which has held our boat (48 feet sail boat) even in strong winds of above 60mph. Customer support is great, even spoke to the CEO before purchasing who explained all the details. Would highly recommend.

I freakin love this anchor. Beautiful design, very light, and fits perfectly in our small anchor compartment in the front of our boat. Our speed boat is 30ft and it holds us every time with no issues, in any bottom (we are typically around clay, sand or gravel). Would highly recommend!

Works great in sand! I have a 60 foot Elan sailboat in Perth, Australia and the XYZ has worked great for years. We sometimes face heavy winds (fremantle doctor as it's known here) and the anchor holds very well in those conditions. Been using the anchor for years now, as well as the older models. Anchor is well designed, and engineered and performs better than other anchors I have used (Rocna, Spade, Delta).
