One tip fix the chain to the wide end, with shackle then to the thin end with a cable tie, that way if it gets stuck in. A rock or heavy chain etc the cable tie snaps and the anchor pulls away from the other end.
PS much better than a grapnel in all sea beds!

I use the larger of the 2 versions (it's the small one on YouTube)as listed -up to 6m boat,,, on my 6m Cobra with the similar 7.5kg anchor with good success... where caught in mooring lines and chains in a quite busy sandy/muddy Greek harbour . It has never released in error in very strong winds and swell either
