Anyone have experience with this anchor? The owner is putting up some big claims and I'm curious if they live up to the hype..... https://hbanchors.com/

No, but if you are the only one with a 2:1 scope, what happens in a crowded anchorage when the wind or current shifts?

The marketing looks like it's an anchor for short scope sets for a few hours while fishing, not anchoring for extended duration.

This anchor has 2 widely separated flukes. Then, I suspect it is unstable under strong traction, as many pivoting-fluke anchors such as the Navy Stockless. Danforth and Fortress anchors have a long stock at the base to increase stability in such a situation.

This is probably the reason why the holding power is limited to *30mph* (not even 30kts).

It looks like if it ended up on the side for some reason on a harder bottom there would be no way for a fluke to dig in?

What’s the millennial term? … OMG!

I just watched their “Captain Jimmy” video. This is hilarious. I was waiting for them to say:
“But wait! That’s not all! Act now and we’ll send you two anchors for the price of one! CALL NOW!”

I wouldn’t trust my dingy to that rinky-dink looking thing.
