After trying many anchors, I've finally found the right one. After a British flat anchor, a classic plough anchor with joint and after trying out the test winners from the usual glossy magazines, I now have an anchor that I can really trust even during continuous tide changes and with questionable anchoring grounds.

Here on the Elbe, the tides are quite extreme. The anchoring ground consists of either silt or sand. It's not far to the Baltic Sea. We usually spend our holidays there. The bottom of the Baltic Sea often consists of stony rubble and is sometimes heavily overgrown. It wasn't easy for me to find a suitable anchor for all of these requirements. The original Bügel roll bar anchor has proven its worth on board with us.

After finally buying myself a bigger boat, anchoring has become real fun. I wanted to get things right straight away so that my partner wouldn't be afraid of the anchor at all. A friend recommended the original Bügel anchor to me. It was worth waiting for. It can be retracted easily and holds really well. We now like to enjoy sunsets together in the shelter of our favourite bay.
