OverviewStainless steel bow anchor ANKERPLEX® DROP designed for secure bow anchoring and reliable holding in varied seabeds. Self‑launching (free‑fall) and optimized for instant set and efficient repositioning; intended as a primary anchor for yachts and boats up to 25 T.
Key Features- Integrates with most bow rollers and hawse pipes
- Self‑launching free‑fall design for rapid deployment
- Instant set and reliable repositioning when wind or current change vessel trajectory
- Maximum holding power with strong initial penetration and deep substrate consolidation; effective on loose mud and mixed seabeds
- No welds, no bends, no lead ballast thanks to a patented mechanical interlocking system
- Electropolished AISI 304 stainless steel construction for abrasion and corrosion resistance
- Compact, modern geometry enabling simple installation and aesthetic integration
- Patented interlocking provides three‑dimensional structural integrity without welding
Construction & MaterialsManufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel with a chromium‑rich electropolished finish that limits corrosion and sediment adhesion. Patented mechanically interlocked components ensure structural strength without welding or lead ballasting.
Operational Benefits- High initial penetration and deep consolidation for sustained holding performance
- Optimized mass distribution improves resetting and anchoring efficiency when direction changes
- Compatible with free‑fall deployment from bow roller or hawse pipe for quick anchoring operations
- Low‑maintenance electropolished finish resists abrasion and sediment buildup
ApplicationsPrimary bow anchor for yachts and recreational boats; recommended for vessels up to 25 T. Suited for bays, coves and sheltered areas with sand, mixed sediments and soft mud.
