Ankerplex 11 lb Stainless Steel Anchor for Boats to 21'

The Ankerplex Anchor is 11 lb of stainless steel with a patented high-holding-power design, rated for boats up to 21 feet.

Stainless rather than aluminum is the choice for a primary anchor that lives on a bow roller. It resists the corrosion of permanent exposure and the weight helps it set, where aluminum has to rely more on design alone. Eleven pounds on a 21 foot boat is a working weight rather than a token one, which is what lets it hold through a wind shift rather than dragging.

There are no moving parts to jam, and it bites into a wide range of seabeds including loose mud, resetting cleanly when wind or tide turns the boat. Resetting is the property that matters most overnight, since an anchor that holds in one direction and drags when the boat swings is worse than useless.

It folds completely flat for storage and deploys by hand in seconds with no tools, which is what makes a stainless anchor of this weight practical on a small boat. That suits it as a primary anchor, a quick auxiliary or a compact backup carried for rough weather. Explore more boat anchors.
