ODDANCHORS All the preceding anchors
look at least vaguely as you would expect an
anchor to look—like an old traditional
yachtsman anchor, a plow, a claw, or a spade.
There are a few other really oddball anchors.
Some of these have received high marks in in-
dependent anchor tests. A good example is
the Bulwagga anchor, which looks just plain
weird but does very well in most anchor
tests. Particularly in smaller sizes, where its
odd shape won’t be too difficult to deal with
in storage (it breaks down), an anchor like
this is worth considering.
