The first time came with important defects in the galvanizing and in the ploughshare locking pin. No hassle and no cost returned. The one that was sent to me again does its job very well. I replaced a CQR.
I often use for a swim in front of the beaches or to sleep in the harbor, with my small sailboat (6.70 meters)

It was my first purchase on SVB. I found myself perfectly for everything. Quick, efficient, available. In short, everything is perfect. Then I spend a few words on this still there is a French magazine that has made a text on 10-12 anchors, several much more noble and expensive even triple. But it is the Kobra that beats the best far beyond the value for money, goodbye Delta, Trefoil, Car & C. !!!!

I used the Kobra 16kg for my Bavaria 32 (loaded approx. 5t) very intensively for 13 years. All over the Mediterranean. Whether Bora or Meltemi, even with gusts of wind over 50 (fifty) knots, ALWAYS held without slipping. Due to the oversize for my boat, I could lie safely with little chain, 13 was enough up to Bf6. This also opens up small niches and even in a crowded anchor field I always found a place on the edge. The anchor always held reliably in every anchorage.

Probablement la meilleure ancre dans sa catégorie !
The fairly large ballast allows it a very good grip, beware the fairly curved shape of the anchor arm (12 Kg) requires being attentive to the choice of rocking forceps to perfect the blocking of the raised anchor, otherwise excellent ratio price quality .
As already several times emerged as test winner in several comparisons, the anchor is also recommended by me almost unrestricted. Advantage over other products with similar performance is the weight, which can be one to two sizes smaller. For me, the cobra as a second anchor for a 14m boat in the back box thus stowed space-saving. Unfortunately, the production quality leaves much to be desired, which, however, has no impact on safety. Rather, it is advisable to wear gloves when handling, since especially the shaft has some very sharp edges. Maybe Plastimo will put on a pair of gloves in the future? Highly recommended product.
