If the Anchor Buddy anchor weight is lowered down after anchoring until just off the seabed, the catenary effect is extremely effective. It changes the angle of pull on the anchor, making it horizontal which helps it dig in, rather than vertical, which raises the shank and is one of the reasons an anchor drags.

It is even more effective than letting out more rope or chain when it starts to blow, or you are caught out on a lee shore, as it is a concentrated, 30lb weight, which the forces on the vessel have to overcome and lift, before exerting any pressure on the anchor.
