Anchor Right Sarca Excel Anchors are certified as Super High Holding Power.

Rex Francis and his Anchor Right design team have taken the original Sarca and enhanced it to produce a yacht anchor with incredible holding power, proven to perform over a wide range of varying sea floors, and with no scoop full of mud.

The Sarca Excel is a new generation self-setting anchor without a roll bar which greatly improves the chances of it fitting on your bow roller, see anchor dimensions table below :-)
According to some of the test videos, roll bar designs don't tend to cope so well with a veering load - see independent test video below.

Anchor Right Advisory
Rex Francis at Anchor Right recommends a bow shape shackle for connecting the Sarca Excel to the anchor chain - D shackles must not be used because the chain can slide between the anchor shank and a D shackle and get jammed as a result.

Sarca Excel Facts, Design Features and PLUS factors:

• Unrivalled Holding Power – super high holding power results: Robertson's anchor testing Authorities
• Superb Self-Righting Moment – the cast filled ballast results in a deliberately low centre of gravity which guarantees an unbeatable turning force
• Unique seabed-hunting feature – the toe continuously probes the sea floor to seek out the most advantageous holding ground
• No Roll Bar - all the design plus factors have been pulled together to create a new generation, self-righting, self-setting anchor without the inconvenience of a roll bar - Anchor Right claim that the Excel is compatible with the majority of bow rollers, stemhead arrangements and other anchor housings.
• Innovative cutting edge fluke concept - 70 percent convex, 30 percent concave, part of the concave section making up the cutting edges.
• N.B. Excel is not a plough anchor – old style plough sheers, which only plough the substrate, have been replaced by single plain innovative flukes – the concave element of the fluke serves to compress the substrate and redirects it over the anchor, forcing the anchor deeper as more load is applied – we recommend that you watch the video to see this in action
• Proven convex design – leaves the mud behind
• Tried and tested tangle resistant concept – outstanding performance in dense weed
• Fluke apertures – another inventive design element are the openings along the side of each fluke which allow water to be dragged through while the anchor is being set – the aperture flow encourages the movement of compressed seabed leading to astonishing deep setting in hard mud or clay - the apertures work in reverse on retrieval and help to bring up a relatively clean anchor.
• Stainless steel cutting toe – similar design to the original Super Sarca turned-down shape for instant penetration – the toe can be sharpened for weed or hard substrate types and will not rust
• Bulbous cutting toe - the curved underside of the toe assists turning in the substrate when the wind and/or tide changes direction.
• Super strength shank - Bisalloy® Grade 80 structural steel (or equivalent) is used on Sarca Excel size number 4 and above for exceptional build strength
• Hot Dip Galvanised finish- marine grade protection against rust and corrosion -an extra light zinc coating is applied at the factory to ensure that your anchor arrives in tip top condition - it will eventually wear off to reveal the enduring galvanised finish
• Anchor Right Claim - that the Sarca Excel is the deepest diving anchor on the market, allowing incredible performance in heavy weed and multiple forms of sea-bed substrate.

Anchor Right Sarca Excel Anchor Sizing Guide

If your boat is over the limit in either column, it is advisable to upgrade to the next size.
Upgrading one size either for a multihull, or for long-term anchor dependent cruising would also be considered good practice.

Sarca Excel Availability

Our intention is to stock all sizes up to Size #9
There are a limited number of Size #11 and #13 on the next shipment which has been arranged for delivery February 2022.

It is not economical to ship one anchor from Australia.
Therefore, any anchors not in stock need to be pre-ordered.

Please note that the lead time from your order to arrival in Beer for despatch could be anything from 4 months to 6 months.
The minimum lead time would be if your pre-order coincided with the pallet preparation for our next shipment from Australia.
Once Anchor Right start loading the pallet, we can't add to the order because they load the largest anchors at the bottom.
Therefore lead time is a total of:

• Time between your pre-order and our next Anchor Right Pallet Preparation e.g. 8 weeks
• Pallet preparation and loading in Australia 2 weeks
• Shipping Schedule (next available departure) 1 week
• Transit time on ship: 10 weeks
• UK Customs Clearance and Delivery from the port to Beer: 3 weeks

Jimmy Green Non-Returnable Advisory - size #11 and above

Please note that once any anchor Size #11 and above has been packed onto the pallet Australia, it will be deemed non-returnable because it will have been ordered especially for you.

Under special circumstances, and depending on the size, we may consider a partial credit.

Current prices including UK VAT for size #11 and above, shipping prices apply at checkout.
