They are both developments from a European anchor style (originally
Bugle?) which had the roll bar but with a flat triangle as the plow
blade. There are lots of these around on European boats. The Manson
Supreme and Rocna mated this with the concave blade of the Spade.
They should, pound for pound, have more holding power than a
conventional plow.
