Who welded that? They look pretty nice :-)

Any shots of the whole thing? Which dimension variant is it?

Keep up the good work!

Subtle detail that I hadn't noticed before: The eye for chain attachment has to be a slot, not a hole, and the remaining pieces of the shank must fit through the appropriate size shackle opening. The slot is to allow the bolt holes in the shackle to pass through and then rotate into position putting the pin through the chain as opposed to the pin through the anchor. Corners should be radiused to allow free movement of the chain/shackle in use. OR the shank must be thin enough to allow the right size shackle to slip over it for the pin to go through. Experimentation with dimensions and strength and movement necessary.

So all the links to DXF files etc are gone from the internet, but I happened to have a PDF laying around and I'm working on some DXFs for my personal use. Not sure if I'll FOSS the whole lot or try to capitalise on some of it, but I'm working on this again and should have the first full size prototype done inside the next week as I want to go out and view the America's Cup yacht racing and that starts soon! Attached is Marko's old PDF of his STORM design that is unsearchable on the internet. You can convert to a DXF with this site: https://www.vectorization.org :-D

His newer design is called Manork and not available except in photos or by being local to Marko in Slovenia.
