The original Bruce was forged and I have only ever seen one that bent,they are very strong and I have never had mine drag,even when others anchored close by,with other anchor brands and one with a tandem anchor set up,was dragging in the Cabedello river in Brasil.Stowage of a spare Bruce can be quite a problem but this is as neat as I have ever seen.
Left click for more detail.
Beware of copies,the original Bruce is no longer in production in sizes suitable for yachts,there are a good many being sold now but just in cast Iorn, (some I saw in Brasil were not even galvanized) which will not be as strong as a genuine forged Bruce,if the real thing costs more be prepared to pay,its worth it!
