Overview
Our Danforth anchor is a fluke type anchor. Its working principle relies on a large surface area. The two sharp, triangular flukes are designed to penetrate deeply into soft seabeds. The stock at the base ensures the flukes are properly oriented to dig in. Once buried, the large fluke area generates a very high holding force. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to handle and store on deck.
