Thanks Craig, made some changes

youz guys is fantastic.
It's a go 'round. You've suddenly dedrivelized at lot of this stuff.

Don't know yet what the difference is between the Wasi and the Buegel.
The photos and the hype are identical.  One guy said the Wasi is a commercial copy of the Bugelanker.  But what does that make the Buegel?
It probably is cool to name its inventer: 3 time circumnavigator Rolf Kaczirek, evidently a German national, and probably not attached to the Swiss Navy.

Inter-Yacht say they have "sole distribution rights for North America"  Here's prices from their site
Galv. 2.8t boat, 1/4" chain - 11kg = 24# - $259
Galv. 4.6t boat, 5/16" chain - 14kg = 31#- $329
s.s.t 2.8t boat, 1/4" chain - 11kg = 24# - $489
s.s.t 4.6t boat, 5/16" chain - 14kg = 31# - $579
This is just the anchors, they have no prices for the Powerball or chain.

Swiss Tech Am.
s.s.t 24# - $620
s.s.t 31# - $730
1/4" Powerball - $163    5/16" Powerball - $197.  Better prices elsewhere.

It could be said that if you buy the system from the importer and are sure that all three parts - anchor, swivel, chain - come from the same  manufacturer then you should have a very dependable and matched anchoring setup, strength for strength.  You know, not some shackle of unknown  material out of china, not some quicklink hopefully holding your questionable rusting chain.  Alain Hylas (Spade, SSCA forum) says you should never use chain unless you are in coral, anyway.
