PS has made their anchor resetting test from 2013 available free of charge in their latest email. Most of this we already know but it's good to see it confirmed in controlled comparative 90- and 180 degree veering conditions. Basically, the fisherman, CQR and Claw-type anchors performed poorly, the convex anchors performed reasonably, the roll bar concave had a little difficulty resetting occasionally, the slotted shank pulled out, and the "Shallow concave" (Spade and Ultra) performed the best. Good to know.
