Hi all! It’s been 3 weeks since we « downgraded » from another brand, 40 kg, to a Viking 25 kg. Only a short time, I agree. Nevertheless, as we live aboard, we happened to test our new anchor on various sea beds: soft mud, sand, seaweed. We keep on testing, of course, but, so far, we are very happy as not a single time, the Viking anchor failed. Hard to believe, but we feel significantly safer with our new, lighter, Viking anchor.
