SeaClaw anchors?

[Karl]

This is a rather old, respected anchor, that fell out of production with the death of its designer, but is now being made again by someone who apparently purchased all the molds (the patent, I believe, expired long ago).

Any experience with these?

One thing I find interesting (disturbing?) is their combined use of dissimilar metals...shank and hook can be anything from A-Z...aluminum to zinc...also including stainless and bronze...that would seem to be a potential galvanic no-no...

Their website appears to have been designed by Stevie Wonder...it's visually irritating, but I'm looking for feedback on the anchor itself, not their marketing of it.

Anyone?

This anchor came up in another list this week. I looked at the design. I agree with your assesment about the metals. The flukes are undersized for sand/mud. I would think that there are better designs for our boats.
