I cant fully confirm 2:1, but I can say I have been successful on a lot less rope than I have with other anchors.
I think the Fortress Anchors have some capability to reconfigured to have a similar deep fluke angle for use in sand and mud.
No comment about using the Fortress in rocks or downed trees/logs, but the slip ring anchors have always come out for me without too much trouble.
Again, they are not for everyone and/or every situation, but so far they seem to work well in Winnipesaukee mud and sand for light duty day anchoring.
For whatever that is worth to anyone,,,
Oh, and I seem to recall Digger making similar claims about not needing a chain and allowing for a 4:2 scope (which I assume is the same as 2:1) That said, I still use a chain on my Chene anchor.
