How does the Excel handle the change of tide, will it follow my boat around without breaking free and then dragging?
A If the Excel is well buried chances are it will not break free in the change of tide, but make no mistake, regardless of anchor design they can all be broken free in conditions that are unpredictable, the important factor here is should the anchor break free will it reset. This is where your old style anchors really struggle but the new technology incorporated in the Excel will give you the best chance of not breaking free, should the Excel break free it will in most cases reset rapidly due to the information supplied above.
