Britany is the only flat anchor with a shank designed not to foul, thus preventing the anchor from breaking away. It bites into the seabed within seconds.
Instant biting into the sea bed :
The most common claw type anchor. Its special construction, with the one-piece stem and the base with the 3 fins, make it a great choice for anchoring in places with sandy bottom.
The most common claw type anchor. Its special construction, with the one-piece stem and the base with the 3 fins, make it a great choice for anchoring in places with sandy bottom.
An anchor with a movable stem and twin plates, which allows direct anchoring with the one that comes in contact with the bottom with whichever side it falls.
It is considered ideal for muddy or sandy bottom.
Its disadvantage can be considered that it takes up a lot of space due to design.
Its unique shank profile and ballasted tip make the Delta® anchor self-launching. The low centre of gravity and self-righting geometry ensure that the Delta® anchor will set immediately. Consistent and reliable in performance, the Delta® anchor has Lloyd’s Register General Approval of an Anchor Design as a High Holding Power anchor and is specified as the primary anchor used by numerous National Lifeboat organisations.
All Delta® anchors are “guaranteed for life against breakage”.

Hot dipped galvanized Delta TYPE anchors
Delta shaped anchors posses a large portion of the anchor market mainly due to their special features.
“Plough” type shape, fixed shank, weighted tip for self-launching and broad “Delta” type shoulder, make the anchor to set almost immediately upon touching the seabed.
Delivers very good grip in most types of seabed with a small handicap in rocky bottoms
Kobra anchor (patented).
Yet another novelty by Plastimo. The anchor resembles the Delta but there is a huge difference.
Cleverly designed to be stored on the bow roller or stowed in the chain locker thanks to its collapsible shank.
Its high holding power makes it ideally suitable for use as a picnic anchor, used in conjunction with a weighted mooring line. This reduces the effort necessary in the absence of windlass.
The Kobra anchor bites into the seabed within seconds and has a very high holding power, thanks to its weighted tip and very broad shoulders. The outstanding performance of the Kobra results from its particular geometric proportions, which allow you to select safely up to 2 sizes down compared to the usually recommended anchor weight.
Pool type anchors are ideal for boats that require a heavy anchor in relatively small dimensions. Usually fitted on boats over 20m in length.
Belong to the category of symmetrical anchors with moving shank.
Rocna anchors belong to the so-called new generation of anchors.
With a very innovative design, they show very high performance in all areas, whether it is the speed with which they catch at the bottom, or it is the holding force in all types of bottoms.
It takes minimal lengths (3-4 anchor lengths) to achieve full anchorage and, in case it slips, anchors again immediately.
In the provided tables you can see the dimensions of each anchor as well as the optimal anchor / length – weight ratio of the boat.
