Boat, seabed and compatibility guidance
- Suitable for sailing yachts and motorboats only when the 15kg size matches the vessel's displacement, windage, operating area and local guidance.
- Bruce/claw anchors generally set quickly in sand, mud and mixed bottoms.
- Performance can be reduced in dense weed, very hard clay, smooth rock or coral; no single anchor type is ideal for every seabed.
- Check that the 645 × 450 × 335mm profile clears the bow roller, pulpit, hull and windlass path.
- Match chain, rope, swivel and shackle working loads to the vessel and anchor. Do not choose connection hardware by diameter alone.
Installation, use and package contents
- Included: one 15kg polished AISI 316 stainless-steel claw anchor.
- Chain, rope, swivel, shackle, bow roller and windlass equipment are not included.
- Use a rated marine shackle or approved connector, secure its pin correctly and prevent dissimilar-metal corrosion where mixed metals are used.
- Deploy adequate scope for depth, weather and seabed; confirm the anchor has set by controlled reverse load.
- Rinse after saltwater use and inspect the shank, claws, eye and connecting hardware for distortion, wear or corrosion.
Frequently asked questions
Q1. What boat length is this anchor for?
Boat length alone is not enough. Selection must account for displacement, windage, cruising area, expected weather and the complete ground-tackle system.
Q2. Which seabeds suit a claw anchor?
Claw anchors generally perform well in sand, mud and mixed bottoms, but can struggle in dense weed, hard rock or coral.
Q3. Will it fit my bow roller?
Measure the roller, pulpit and hull clearance against the approximate 645 × 450 × 335mm anchor envelope before ordering.
Q4. Are chain and shackle included?
No. The package contains the anchor only; all connecting and deployment hardware must be selected separately.
