This was one of the first of the new generation of ultra high holding power anchors and quickly gained much acclaim, despite an initially high price tag. The Rocna is well engineered and has an excellent reputation for digging in quickly and easily. Once set it then offers excellent holding. A roll bar is incorporated, but a downside of Rocnas is t...
Read PBO’s Lewmar Epsilon review The latest model from this UK company offers the benefits of a new generation anchor at very attractive prices. It has a winged design with concave flukes to maximise holding power in a variety of sea beds, a ballasted tip that enables it to dig in readily and is self righting, even though the roll bar is optional. ...
This aluminium anchor is an older design from more than 30 years ago, but still has a number of advantages that makes it an excellent choice in some circumstances. It’s biggest feature is very light weight relative to the holding power the anchor provides. This makes it a perfect option for performance catamaransand trimarans, as well as for smalle...
This is another popular modern anchor, but with an important difference to other brands. The hollow shank can be removed to make stowage easier. This makes it an excellent choice for racing yachts and other vessels that don’t permanently keep the anchor on the bow, or for occasional use as a kedge.

This makes it a relatively inexpensive anchor, which is undoubtedly a key factor behind its enormous popularity, even though late...
This was the first anchor to receive Lloyds Super High Holding Power certification when the classification was introduced in 2008. It’s a fabricated design that uses two layers of steel for the fluke and relies on a roll bar, rather than a ballasted tip, to self-right. The upper slot in the shank is intended for use in rocky sea beds, or anchoring ...
