Interesting how several have mentioned the likeness between the Sarca Excel and the Delta. I agree, and when I took this up with the maker/designer he said it was because so many boaters put aesthetics ahead of function, and think the Super Sarca like mine, (the left hand pic), are too agricultural, and also do not fit as nicely as the Excel (right hand pic in my post) in the trendy bowsprits, especially those with the anchor slot through the sprit rather than out over the end. So they developed the concept to address that, at the same time going to great pains to retain quick and reliable setting and high holding power. The thing is, it has resulted in an anchor which looks very much like the Delta and Ultra, (although there are subtle but important differences), and all of these are good anchors, but not ground-breaking as Eric mentioned, and that's what I like about my agricultural Super Sarca. Its a 'take no prisoners' looking thing, and I love it.
