How to Choose the Right Boat Anchor for Your Needs
Understanding the different types and sizes of anchors will help you make the best choice for your boat and boating style. It’s also important to consider your mooring conditions, as areas with strong tides or currents may require a larger anchor for secure holding. In some cases, such as when beaching your craft, you may need two anchors, one positioned at the bow and the other at the stern.
We’ve handpicked our selection to cover the most common types of anchors used by boaters in Australia, including trusted brands like Rocna and Sarca.
Sand Anchors: Ideal for soft sand and muddy seabeds, these anchors are a favourite among Australian boaters for their reliable holding power. Most are hot-dipped galvanised to resist corrosion and include a retrieval eye for easier recovery if snagged.
Reef Anchors: Ideal for fishing and diving near rocky seabeds or coral. Their prongs grip securely, and if stuck, they are designed to bend under pressure so you can retrieve your anchor without leaving it behind. It is important to note that reef anchors are hot-dipped galvanised.
Plough & Delta Anchors: They are versatile performers in sandy or muddy seabeds. Their curved design allows quick setting and strong hold, even with changing tide or wind. Choose from galvanised or stainless steel options, including trusted brands like Lewmar.
Self-Aligning Anchors: For boaters who demand ultimate performance and reliability, self-aligning anchors are the premium choice.These premium boat anchors are designed to roll into the correct position and set quickly, regardless of how they land. Available in marine-grade stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised finishes, they offer exceptional reliability for serious boaters.
