Ankerplex 15.2 lb Aluminum Anchor for Boats to 36'

The Ankerplex Anchor is 15.2 lb of aluminum with a patented high-holding-power design, rated for boats up to 36 feet.

Fifteen pounds of aluminum for a 36 foot boat is light by conventional standards, and the holding comes from the design rather than the mass. Compared with the 11 lb stainless model rated to 21 feet, this covers a considerably larger boat at only slightly more weight, which is the aluminum advantage.

No moving parts means nothing to jam, and it bites into a wide range of seabeds including loose mud, resetting cleanly through sudden shifts in wind or tide. Resetting matters most overnight, since an anchor that holds one way and drags when the boat swings gives no protection at all.

It folds completely flat for storage and deploys by hand in seconds without tools, which is what makes a 36 foot boat's anchor manageable on deck. That suits it as a primary anchor, a quick-deploy auxiliary or a compact backup carried for rough weather. Explore more boat anchors.
