ANKERPLEX Folding Plow Anchor Stainless Steel – Folding High Holding Power Anchor
The ANKERPLEX Folding Plow Anchor is an innovative stainless steel anchor designed to combine exceptional holding performance with compact storage. Suitable as a primary anchor, kedge anchor or spare anchor, it provides fast setting, excellent resetting characteristics and reliable holding power in a wide range of anchoring conditions.
The anchor consists of three flat stainless steel components connected by a shackle to form a rigid three-dimensional anchor. The integrated roll bar ensures the anchor quickly rotates into the correct position and buries efficiently in the seabed. Since the design contains no moving parts, there are no hinges that can jam, wear or become damaged.
When disassembled, all parts lie flat, making the anchor exceptionally easy to store aboard where space is limited. Assembly requires no tools and takes only a few moments.
