FAQs:
Reliable anchoring starts with the right design. Delta (or plow) anchors strike a solid balance between performance and price. Their low centre of gravity and self-righting shape help them set quickly and hold firm. Delta anchors are built to reset easily as wind or current shifts, making them ideal for rocky bottoms, weeds and grass.
For tougher conditions, claw anchors shine. Inspired by offshore oil rig designs, their curved shape delivers excellent holding power across varied seabeds. Designed to stay put even as your boat swings, claw anchors are a smart pick for open waters and gusty days.
The weight and length of your boat will inform the size you need. It’s always best to select an anchor in the highest weight/ length category for your boat so you can hold firm when the conditions shift.
- Rule of Thumb: 1 pound of anchor per foot or 1 kilo per meter (rounding up to the nearest size)
For example, a boat that’s 4 to 5 meters in length would require a 5kg anchor. A boat that is 7 to 11 meters in length would require a 10kg anchor. See our comprehensive sizing chart for our slider boat anchors here.
Most anchors are sized in pounds, so if you’re converting, just halve the number for kilograms. And while size matters, so does seabed type and personal preference.
- Choose your spot:
Pick a location clear of shallow water and hazards in all directions—your boat will swing with the wind and current.
- Drop the anchor:
Don’t throw it. Lower it slowly and feed out the line until it hits the bottom to avoid tangles.
- Set it:
Let the boat drift back while slowly releasing more scope. When the anchor bites, give it a firm tug to confirm it’s set. Then cleat it off – and you’re ready to enjoy the waters!
Scope tip: Use 3:1 for chain and 5:1 for rope (depth to scope ratio).
Not quite – it really depends on the conditions. Here’s what we recommend:
- Rough seas: Go heavier. A larger anchor (or even a second one!) can offer extra holding power.
- Strong winds: Choose a plow (Slider anchor) or claw anchor. Both are designed to hold firm when the breeze picks up.
- Tidal currents: Set your anchor with swing room in mind. Your boat needs space to move as the tide shifts direction.
A securely stowed anchor keeps your boat safe and your gear in top shape. Here are a few steps to store your anchor and keep it in top shape:
- Start by rinsing off mud or salt and checking the flukes, shank and chain for wear or rust.
- Coil and secure the chain separately to avoid tangles.
- Store your anchor in an anchor locker, bracket, or bow roller – whatever suits your boat best.
- Use straps or bungees to keep it firmly in place during transit.
- And don’t forget to check it regularly for signs of damage. A clean, secure anchor means you're always ready to drop and hold when needed.
