An anchor can help you spend the night in the perfect anchorage, assist in securing your boat or yacht on a blustery mooring and is a vital bit of safety kit in case of engine failure. Choosing the right anchor for your boat and sailing area is important, the choice of anchor type will depend on if you need an anchor for mud, sand or rocks and the chance of getting the anchor stuck. From a small grapnel for your dinghy or tender to the biggest Rocna Captain Watts has a great range of anchors for the cruising sailor, ocean racer or river navigation. Alongside the choice of anchor don't forget chain, connectors and anchor line. We also strongly recommend double checking your anchor is secured firmly to your boat or you will be back for another anchor very quickly!
