ANKERPLEX Folding Plow Anchor Aluminum – Lightweight High Holding Power Folding Anchor
The ANKERPLEX Folding Plow Anchor Aluminum is an advanced High Holding Power (HHP) anchor engineered for sailors who require exceptional anchoring performance while keeping weight and storage space to a minimum. Manufactured from lightweight marine-grade aluminum alloys, it is suitable as a primary anchor, kedge anchor or spare anchor for a wide variety of vessels.
The innovative three-piece construction forms a rigid three-dimensional anchor using a standard shackle. An integrated roll bar automatically positions the anchor correctly for rapid seabed penetration, while the absence of moving parts eliminates the risk of jamming, excessive wear or mechanical failure.
When disassembled, the anchor packs completely flat, making it ideal for boats where storage space is limited. Assembly is intuitive, requires no tools and can be completed within minutes.
