Overview

The Plough (sometimes known as - CQR) is particularly popular with cruising sailors and other private boaters. They are generally a good all rounder able to cope with most sea beds. The CQR design has a hinged shank, allowing the anchor to turn with direction changes rather than breaking out. It is also designed to force the point of the plow into the bottom if the anchor lands on its side. Another very similar design, the Delta uses an unhinged shank and a plough with specific angles to develop slightly better performance.
