    >available in
    >either stainless steel or galvanized, and in a range of sizes, with custom
    >sizes available. It is a plow type anchor, with two attaching positions.
    >One is

    >hole,
    >allowing the shackle to slide forward as the boat is driven over the
    >anchor,
    >which will self-extract the anchor from rock or coral. There is also a
    >round
    >ring roll bar, which self-rights the anchor.
    >I have a Danforth, style anchor, with a loop shank, with the same
    >attributes
    >of allowing the attaching ring to slide forward when driving over the
    >anchor, and to self-extract the anchor.
    >Although I am in inland waters, I thought this new anchor might be of
    >interest to the group as a whole.
