Plastic Anchors?
I'm sure I've seen somewhere a folding grapnel that's possibly plastic dipped/coated or something.

Anyone got a link?

Were you thinking of something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ANCHOR-FOR...ht_2739wt_1006 but presumably a bit bigger for the tender?

I was trying to save you a few squid on shipping. If the plastic coating is anything like the type used on diving weights, it won't take much abuse...

We've got this on test at work, shot blasted stainless steel flatted off then sprayed primmer + 3 coats of top coat it's not bad at the moment
