    If you want an anchor that sets quickly and reliably, weight wins out
    every time. Regardless of anchor type, I'd recommend aluminum only
    for someone with a weight sensitive boat where saving every pound
    counts, or for a situation where you need ultimate holding power and
    have plenty of time to set the anchor.

    >>What is the consensus on aluminum versus steel? Does it make sense to go
    >>with a larger aluminum Spade anchor or a heavier but smaller steel one?
