Plastic Anchors?

[Kordie]

Boat anchors for yachts, jet skis, inflatables, fishing, diving, cruising, sailing, or tinnys and Kayaks boats - Cooper Anchors

This mob was just shown on a local panel show called "The New Inventors" which showcases local designs and designers.

They demonstrated the smallest one which was suited to Jetskis and canoes but I notice they make much larger ones.

I wonder how effective they can really be?

Racing boats would LOVE them! Save all that weight.

Does it come in pink?!!!

Aluminum anchors work well enough. In many conditions. I bet the same goes for plastic.

Only the 1Kg (2.2 Lb) Cooper Anchor is made of Nylon.

The larger 2.3 (5#), 3.5 (7.7#) Kg anchors are made of Aluminum.

They mention a 2-week waiting period, but provide no other information on the only anchors that might be useful on a smaller cruiser, the 6.8Kg (15#) & 11.5Kg (25.3#).

Why Yes Mark they do


With the technology in plastics, they are achieving some of the same strengths as steel. I would have to see some test results before I trust it as my main anchor but as a light weight back up
