Ankerplex® Anchor - Stainless Steel

Ankerplex® Stainless Steel Stowable Anchor

Excellent review in Europe's widest selling yachting magazine: 'YACHT' MAGAZINE

The Ankerplex Anchor is manufactured from three flat sections without welding, bending or fixing screws.

The Ankerplex Anchor parts are precision cut from INOX AISI 304 to deliver a clean finish.

The Ankerplex concept is designed to connect easily using one shackle marine grade aluminium to secure the parts in position, forming a secure 3D unit comparable to other modern anchors.

The Ankerplex design is effective in terms of positioning, speed of penetration into the seabed, holding power, and resetting in changes of trajectory and wind and tide direction.

Ankerplex stainless anchors are ideal as a stowable anchor on kayaks, dinghies and small craft and suitable as a kedge or spare anchor on boats and yachts up to 15 metres, according to weather conditions.

The huge advantage Ankerplex has over other anchors is the ease of assembly for deployment and subsequent dismantling for compact storage onboard.

The flat cut-out parts ensure easy portage and stowage, and an optional protective bag prevents it from banging and rattling while in storage. 

There are two holes in the shank used for the chain connection to optimise the angle of penetration of the Ankerplex® anchor into the seabed.

The lower hole is the most commonly used method, but when it is necessary to increase the angle of penetration of the fluke slightly, change the shackle position to the upper hole, increasing it by +4º. The added degrees make it more suitable for soft sand or muddy sea bottoms.
