LEADING INNOVATION IN BOAT ANCHOR DESIGN
The XYZ Extreme Boat Anchor® is used by US Navy for special and the most demanding applications. XYZ boat anchor is the choice of Oceaneering International global offshore oil provider with a focus on deepwater applications that also serves the US defense and NASA agencies. By ELIMINATING OBSOLETE ELEMENTS such as ROLL BAR, HEAVY, LONG SHANK and HEAVY FRONT BALLAST, the Extreme is engineered to enhance the most fundamental features: ultra large, heavy and sharp FLUKE SURFACE and ULTRA SHORT AND STRONG SHANK. These innovations enable almost 80% of the boat anchor's weight to be in the fluke surface - the only anchor part that produces holding power!
The design features force the XYZ anchor to set almost instantly in demanding anchoring bottoms - EXTREMELY DEEP for ultimate holding power, and HOLD regardless of angle of pull. Once set, even under the most adverse conditions, the Extreme boat anchor will NOT BREAKOUT. IT WILL HOLD! The holding power exceeds the strength of the rode and most other hardware. Cutting Edge Science - the Cutting-Edge Saw Blade enables cutting through hard to penetrate bottoms: slippery weeds, corals*, small rocks etc.
The 5th XYZ boat anchor generation, the Extreme boat anchor, is being built upon an already proven superior product that was RATED #1 in the major 2006-08 USA independent anchor tests. The XYZ boat anchor has shown far superior holding power and related 360° performance of any anchor known to this date.

Stainless Steel 17-4PH Cutting Blade
The Cutting-Edge of the new XYZ Extreme Boat Anchor enables penetration through hard bottoms such as slippery weeds, corals, small rocks etc. The blade is made of corrosion resistant 17-4PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel. 17-4PH is used by NASA and in the aerospace industry. Very high yield strength (up to 1100-1300 Mpa 160-190 ksi) can be achieved.
XYZ Anchor has no roll-bar that collects debris, grass and rocks or can choke the fluke. XYZ design eliminates heavy front ballast and large/heavy bendable shank.

The new XYZ Soft Mud Boat Anchor is especially designed for soft mud and watery/slippery sea bottoms. This boat anchor is a product of years of research and development. The firs generation of the XYZ Boat Anchor won the Practical Sailor's 2006 Soft Mud Anchor test.
Most of the soft bottoms have mixed density and slippery texture, which makes them difficult to set an anchor in. In order to hold in soft bottoms the anchor must have ultra large fluke surface and wide front tip. Very steep angle of penetration is an imperative. The anchor must be capable of ultra short scope (2:1) and ability to rotate itself in a correct position and hold correct orientation during movement in any direction.
It is known that not one anchor is perfect for all anchoring bottom. Cruising boatmen, rarely knowing what is on the seabed of the anchorages they may visit, should always carry more then one type of anchors. All soft mud bottoms offer greatly reduced holding power. When general-purpose anchor is used some bottoms offer as little as just 10% of the holding available in firmer bottoms! Setting and orientation of the boat anchor in those bottoms is often unpredictable. It should be understood that an anchor designed for a specific purpose (soft mud) might not perform well (hard bottoms) under different circumstances.
The new XYZ Soft Mud Boat Anchor could be assembled in matter of minutes and when disassembled it takes very little space.
The only real anchor test is to compare the holding power of different anchors, of the same weight, on the same bottom. We at XYZ, strongly encourage testing and comparing XYZ anchors with another popular anchors.

We are very pleased to introduce to you the little "sister" of the SPADE: It is called SWORD.
Its spoon shape confers an exceptional holding .
Its ratio "Holding surface area /weight " is highest of all currently existing
anchors.
The advanced fixing of the shank gives it, in spite of the absence of ballast, a distribution of the weight on the tip (pledge of a good penetration) among the heaviest.
The shape of its shank enables it to adapt itself to all bow rollers.. to self release itself and retrive automatically with the windlass and always to position itself in the best position for a very fast setting.
And much of other excellent characteristiques...
And although its holding is very high, its price is very sveet..

To make permanent moorings, to anchor floating docks or fish farms basins ,
etc... For equal weight, the helicoid anchors have a higher holding than any
other type of anchor. This type of anchoring can also be used for many
terrestrial applications, when it is necessary "to anchor" something
temporarily or definitively in a movable ground, soft ground - sand.
Advantages:
- For a cheap price, the holding of the helicoid anchors is highest.
- Made of hotdip galvanized steel, their lifespan is very long.
On the opposite of the temporary anchors, they do not dredge on the sea
bottoms, and do not require a great water height ratio for the mooring line .
They are thus respectful of the sea-beds ecology.
The "SKREW" anchor is made out of high strength steel . The rod is forged in
only one metal bar with an round eye fixation .
Fixing is carried out using a bar passed in this eye.

The Topgard is a Fluke anchor type with its sides shaped as a plough type anchor.
With this model, the designer wanted to combine a fluke type anchor (inclined to lie on its side) and a plough type anchor to secure the holding when the anchor inclines.

The Brake is classified as one of the modern fixed type plough anchors. The characteristics of this anchor is to have big shares strongly formed in 3 planes with inverted edges and a shank long enough to be able to fit the majority of rollers.
The 16 kg model we tested proved to be more than enough for our boat even though. According to the legislation, it requires a higher standard model.
On the first type of seabed (sand and mud) we obtained a constant holding to 800 kg. It started to drag very smoothly from 3000 kg.
On the hard sand, the holding without skidding was 1000 kg with peaks at 1500 kg. Beyond that point, it drags without pulling.
Advantages : Exceptional holding in both types of seabed. The values obtained are equivalent to a medium wind of 42 knots on boats from 10,50 m to 12,50 m. In peak conditions, the 300 kg is equivalent to the higher wind of 60 knots.
The particar shape of the shank makes the pulling out easier when lifting the anchor to the surface vertically.
Exist in 12, 16, 20, 24 and 34 kg

Kobra 1 with folding shank.
Cleverly designed to be stored on the bow roller or stowed in the chain locker thanks to its collapsible shank.
Its high holding power makes it ideally suitable for use as a picnic anchor, used in conjunction with a weighted mooring line. This reduces the effort necessary in the absence of windlass.
Kobra 2 with fixed shank.
For winterizing, unbolt the shank before folding it. It will ease the stowage of the anchor in its compartment. Before using the anchor again, relock the shank in position with a well gripped new nylock nut.

SPADE anchors are manufactured in 3 materials (Steel, Aluminium, Stainless Steel), and in 6 sizes.
Plough shaped anchors are designed to plough sea floors. SPADE anchors by name, and by action, dig deeply into the sea floor. Once they are within the sea floor, the concave shape of SPADE anchors compact the sea floor, and thus not to move! This design is unique.
The remarkable efficiency of a SPADE anchor is due to the size, and shape, of its effective surface : SPADE anchors of the same surface area will have the same holding power, no matter the material they are made of. All models meet the seven safety criteria :
1. The anchor digs in rapidly, regardless of the type of sea bottom.
2. The anchor buries itself deeply within the bottom.
3. Once set, the anchor gives the maximum holding power without dragging.
4. If the traction force exceeds the bottom holding characteristics, the anchor offers constant, and maximum, resistance to dragging - even if it moves under extreme load.
5. The anchor keeps on holding, regardless of the shift in direction of either the wind or the current.
6. The anchor design doesn't allow the anchor rode to become snagged by the anchor.
7. The anchor is built strongly enough to withstand very high loads.

Parachute Anchor Coastal 9.
A Para Anchor is designed to provide sufficient power to hold the bow of a vessel head to wind in the worst storm conditions.
It should be deployed from the bow of the vessel and greatly reduces the risk of broaching, capsizing or rolling, keeping the boat more comfortable and stable throughout the duration of the heavy weather. Most importantly it allows the vessel to take the storm head on, rather than running with it, which reduces the time spent in discomfort.
A must have for any cruising yachtsman or long distance sailor.
