Claw Anchor Galvanise

Based on the Bruce anchors used to secure oil rigs in the North Sea, the Claw anchor is constructed from high grade steel cast in a single piece.

It sets effortlessly and holds in a variety of sea beds. Stows easily in most bow rollers.

  • Claw anchors set quickly and are forgiving of wind shifts.

  • They perform well in sand and mud, reasonably in gravel, and poorly in weed or rock.

  • Claws generally need to be heavier than Danforths for similar holding power.

  • These recommendations assume a chain leader or full chain rode.

  • For overnight anchoring or exposed areas, consider sizing up.
