I don't suppose anyone has experience of <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.noteco.com/bulwagga/index.htm> Bulwagga anchors</A> ?

I'm just wondering if they're any good.

Loved the '2' independant tests - same test reprinted from 2 different mags!
Even better the complaint that it was unfair to compare the spade because it had twice the surface area working for the same weight of anchor...........
However it did perform well - but the Spade came out better.
Would have thought it would have been better to have got all the anchors at approximately the same size rather than ask the manufacturers recomendations; comparing a 12lb Fortress with a 16.5lb Spade (or a 25lb Barnacle / 22lb Bruce) is somewhat misleading as, generally, people look at power to weight - although stowage is of course a factor to users.

what about comparing a 22lb bruce or delta with a 35lb CQR. methinks some of the manufacturers were trying to skew the reults somewhat.
