I guess I should enlighten those who doubt...: A little inside information that has been available almost since the beginning on the Design of the
Danforth Anchor.
The sucess of this anchor has been recognized over the many decades: The
Area of the flukes: The
Shape of the flukes: The
Sharpness of the flukes....and last but not least..the
Strength of the flukes.
MOST importantly the Angle between the shank and the flukes. I think the angle is 21 degrees. Change that angle..... and 70 years of Engineering goes out the window. The wanabees are trying to reinvent the wheel.
