I had one of these anchors for my Switch and it kept getting jammed with sand. It holds well in sand, but sand jams up the slide mechanism and its a real pain to clear out without getting pinched or poked. I switched to a normal fluke anchor up front and it's much better. You are often in a hurry when you pull anchor in crowded or windy conditions and you don't have time to clear sand out of something like this. I do not recommend this anchor for the sand we get in the Tampa/St. Pete area of the Gulf.
