Summary

COI synopsis: Increase your efficiency and you save time, money - and, probably, a lot of unnecessary stress and worry. A few suggestions: A totally new approach to the problem of holding things still at sea has borrowed the principles of flight to produce an anchor more efficient than anything known before. It glides like a wing - but down into the seabed instead of up.
