Lewmar	Delta 35	Steel	36	Variable results ranging from around 1,500lb. to 4,500lb. Drags at limit.
NavX Corp	Fortress FX-37	Aluminium	21.9	Generally held as much tension as we could throw at it. Was slightly damaged when pulled over 5,000lb. Excellent performance.
Anchor Concepts	Hydrobubble 45 SA	Alu & stainless steel	16	Surprise performer based on small size and weight. Held over 5,000lb. twice, also held to 1,600lb twice and released.
Manson Marine	Manson Supreme 35	Stainless steel	35.9	In six pulls never held less than 2,300lb, and held over 5,000lb three times. Seemed to engage the bottom immediately.
