I like Mansons product and their company integrity. So I would be trying to
work with them as much as possible.
I have raised this concern:
I think is that the large concave flukes are filled with mud. When we swing, the anchor is unable to reset immediately until the mud/sand build up has been removed. regarding scoop (Concave) anchors in the past. I had similar issues with another brand of scoop anchor. Its a reason I have a convex burying anchor.
Then again, I have been told, by people who claim to know, and told in no uncertain terms that my "come out full of mud and fail to reset" concerns about scoops are groundless. Your experience mirrors my own and that of a number of owners I talk to, particularly when
anchoring in tidal flow rivers.
