There isn't a Rocna equivalent to the Mantus dinghy anchor—I checked during my research!

Yeah that curved shank makes the anchor instantly flip if it reaches the bow roller upside down. It's almost scary the way it happens because the anchor weighs 73 lbs and it happens fast enough that you can feel it in the whole boat. I'm thankful for the rugged welded aluminum roller frame that is embedded into the pulpit, otherwise, I imagine it could do some serious damage. That shank is a clever design feature that would be a pointless waste of space on a dinghy anchor. I think the Mantus will serve you well for decades.
