Ankerplex Aluminum 4.5kg Anchor for Boats to 33 Feet

The Ankerplex Anchor is 4.5kg of aluminum with a patented high-holding-power design, rated for boats up to 33 feet.

Four and a half kilograms is around 10 pounds for a 33 foot boat, which is very light by conventional standards. The holding comes from the design rather than the mass, and that is the aluminum trade: far less weight to handle and stow, with the setting behavior depending entirely on the geometry working.

Weight matters at the bow more than most owners think. Ten pounds against thirty at the stem affects trim and pitching on a smaller hull. For a boat where the bow already sits low, or where the anchor is handled by someone who would struggle with a heavy one, that difference decides the purchase.

It folds completely flat for a tight storage locker and deploys by hand in seconds without tools. Zero moving parts means nothing to jam, it grips instantly across a wide range of seabeds including loose mud, and it works as a primary, a quick auxiliary or a backup. Explore more anchors.
