Alloy Fortress Anchor 3.2kg
Plastimo has selected the extrusion engineering construction rather than the dip moulding, so as to obtain a superior mechanical strength and hence, a rigid and stronger achor, with no welds to weaken the metal. The weight is obviously a major asset, which makes the anchor easy to handle by any crewmember. Plastimo offers the most well-known and top-performing alloy anchors in the world: - The legendary Fortress, worldwide no1 in terms of performance, quality and value
- The Guardian anchor, a more affordable and slightly less sophisticated alternative
| "This anchor sets instantly, thanks to its long, thin, sharp-pointed flukes. The 82cm wide transverse bar ensures it never turns on its side. We are astonished by its holding power of more than 3 tons, equivalent to the cable load of a 12m (40ft) yacht in a hurricane. Awesome holding power, speed of setting." Yachting Monthly - Nov 2009  |

The Fortress anchor Exclusively on Fortress: the flukes can be adjusted from the normal 32deg angle to 45deg, to increase holding power in soft mud bottoms by as much as 400%.  | Fotress and Guardian anchors can be disassembled for storage or parts replacement. |
