Opinions On the Forfjord Safety Anchor ?

Any opinions on the Forfjord safety anchor?

Forfjord Safety Boat Anchor Details

They appear to recomend heaver weight anchors for a given sized boat than the Delta, or CQR anchors. It looks like a modified stockless anchor of some sort.

Thoughts, opinions?

Their weight recommendations seem to me to be pretty similar to Manson Supreme and other anchors of this type.

Does not look easy to store in a typical sailing boat installation. Probably no issue on many powerboats.

I have doubts on the stability of this anchor: under a very strong pull, other stockless articulated anchors are known to flip on one side and come out. Danforth-style anchors (e. g. Fortress) have a stabilizing bar to prevent this.
