Fortress Anchor 10 lbs for boats 33-38'The Legendary Fortress AnchorIn test after test, from coast to coast and from around the world, no anchor in history has been called “The World’s Best Anchor” by more boaters and respected marine experts than Fortress...and for good reason.Years of research and development, high-tech materials and manufacturing and thousands of real world tests are your assurance of performance, quality, and value. Fortress weighs only half as much as heavier steel anchors and yet outperforms them all.Why? Because the Fortress design does not depend upon weight to provide world class performance. All this adds up to your best value in anchoring safety and convenience.Features and BenefitsPrecision-machined from an aluminum alloy that is as strong as steel, but only half the weight. Easy to manage weight Rustproof Sharper than heavy, dull-edged steel anchors Will set faster and penetrate deeper into common sea bottoms for incredible holding power Can be disassembled Excellent as a spare or storm anchor Easy to store Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty Free replacement of any damaged anchor part...Forever!* *Customer pays shipping and handling costs only. Adjustable 32° to 45° fluke angle Exclusive and patented feature which dramatically increases holding power in problem soft mud bottoms Tough anodized finish Handsome and durable appearance Corrision resistant Exclusive Fortress Features The World’s Best Anchor for the most demanding applications. Fortress Anchors are made from a high tensile, corrosion resistant aluminum magnesium alloy.Fortress Anchors are shipped in compact and informative boxes. Fortress Anchors can be easily disassembled for compact storage as a spare or storm anchor.Anchor Selection & Specifications GuideBoat size recommendations are for boats of average windage and proportions in 30 knots of wind, average bottom conditions, and moderate protection from open seas. Remember that the loads in 42 knots of wind are twice as much as in 30 knots. Use three-strand nylon rope, 6-12 ft (2-4 m) of chain and a minimum of 5:1 scope. Also, a minimum of 6 ft (2 m) of chain should be used for every 25 ft (8 m) of water depth. For storm conditions use an anchor one or two sizes larger.

In several real world tests, including one conducted by the U.S. Navy, the best holding anchors were actually among the lightest! Anchor design has more effect on holding power than weight.Myth: Steel is the strongest material for anchors.....Fact: Not anymore! Many materials are now stronger than steel. For example, high-tensile aluminum-magnesium alloy is well suited for anchors and is, pound-for-pound, more than twice as strong as steel. Myth: All anchors perform the same way.....Fact: Not so! Different designs and different materials make anchors perform very differently. When you consider the value of the boat an anchor is protecting, (your boat!) an anchor is no place to economize. It pays to get the best performing anchor you can. Myth: Anchors that look alike, are alike.....Fact: Looks can be deceiving. Technical designs, manufacturing processes and metal alloys go through varying degrees of quality control and some are just plain better. Be sure to look for independent testing of holding power and approval from standards organizations, indicated by "ABS Type Certification" (ABS is the American Bureau of Shipping) or similar.Myth: Just toss an anchor overboard, and you are anchored.....Fact: It's not so simple. Your anchor is just one part of a total anchoring system. It's made up of the anchor, chain, rope, shackles, deck gear, and... your own anchoring skill and knowledge!

Fortress anchors are also anodized for a handsome and durable finish.What is the difference between a Fortress and a Guardian?(1) Fortress is anodized, which is a chemically bonded coating. This gives the Fortress Anchor greater corrosion resistance and a more attractive appearance. Guardian anchors are not anodized. (2) Fortress anchors have more precision machining done to the shank and flukes, so they are sharper and better able to penetrate the sea bottom deeper, and thus provide more holding power. (3) Fortress anchors have two adjustable angles: 32° and 45° for soft mud. Guardian has just the 32° angle. (4) Fortress anchors have a Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty, ...
