ULTRA Anchor (Stainless Steel AISI 316) – 5 kg / 8 kg / 12 kg

The ULTRA Anchor represents the pinnacle of anchoring technology – designed for boaters who demand the highest level of security when anchoring. Each ULTRA anchor is handcrafted from top-quality 316 stainless steel and meticulously polished, giving it an elegant mirror finish on your bow as well as extreme resistance to rust, even after years of exposure to saltwater. The unique design sets the ULTRA apart from conventional anchors: if the anchor lands on the seabed upside-down, it will immediately self-correct into the optimal setting position. This capability is achieved through several patented features: the curved tip is weighted with lead, optimizing balance and directing the tip downward; the anchor’s shank is hollow, reducing weight at the shank and lowering the center of gravity so the tip is always inclined to dig in. The concave shape of the fluke acts like a shovel, scooping into sand or mud and generating tremendous suction and holding power.

Once set, the ULTRA anchor virtually “locks” into the bottom, and the side wing plates prevent the anchor from rolling out or breaking free even as the boat’s pulling angle changes (for instance, with shifting winds or tides). A special non-fouling bar keeps the chain from wrapping around the shank, ensuring the boat can swing freely around the anchor and allowing you to attach a trip line if desired. The underside of the anchor is flat, which aids in retrieval – as you haul in, the anchor pivots on that flat surface to break the suction and then slides out of the seabed smoothly.

Usage & Recommendations: ULTRA anchors in the 5 kg range are ideal for smaller boats and RIBs (approximately 5–6 m), the 8 kg model suits mid-sized boats and sailing yachts (7–9 m), while the 12 kg version provides peace of mind for larger vessels (9–11+ m). Thanks to its refined construction, each ULTRA anchor nests perfectly on standard bow rollers – its geometry is engineered to sit securely in the roller without wobbling. The manufacturer even provides a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, underscoring the confidence in this anchor’s quality and durability.

The ULTRA anchor has proven itself in countless tests and real-world scenarios: it sets almost instantly, often on the first try, without needing a long drag to hook. Once it’s dug in, it holds firm against strong gusts and boat veering, maintaining its grip. This reliability is especially valuable if you’re anchoring overnight or in rough weather – you can rest assured knowing your boat will stay put.

Maintenance is straightforward: the stainless steel cleans up easily – just rinse the anchor with fresh water after use to remove salt and debris, and it will retain its shine. Unlike galvanized anchors, the ULTRA will never require re-galvanizing; with proper care it will remain as effective and lustrous as the day you bought it, for many years.

In Summary: The ULTRA stainless steel anchor is an investment in your boating peace of mind. Its premium design not only adds a touch of class to your vessel’s bow, but more importantly delivers flawless holding performance in virtually all conditions. Whether you’re on a day trip or an extended voyage, with the ULTRA anchor you can anchor with confidence at any suitable spot, even where other anchors might struggle.
