Price of Spade Anchors

[john_morris_uk]

In the YM article, the price of a Spade Anchor is quoted at £320 ish. Have they increased the price since the article suggested the thing was so good, or were they quoting for a smaller anchor?

For a Spade 100:

Price online from Channel Isles is £395 ex VAT plus delivery.

From my local chandler the best price I can get is about £410 including VAT

Anyone got a better price? If it was invented by a Frenchman is it cheaper in France?

I saw some in the summer in the chandlery beside the fuel pump in St Peter Port. Two years ago they were very well priced there.
