Product Description
Overview
The American Yachting Series Vinyl Coated Fluke Anchor is based on Richard Danforth's original 1939 fluke anchor design. This classic all-purpose anchor is perfect for a wide range of boating conditions, providing reliable holding power with an added layer of protection for your boat's finishes. The vinyl coating comes in colors that match most popular boat trims, combining both style and functionality.
The vinyl coating ensures that your anchor won’t damage your boat’s finish, while still delivering the performance you expect from a traditional fluke-style anchor. This design is widely recommended for medium to heavy-duty use in various conditions.
For proper performance, it is essential to use anchor chain with steel fluke anchors to maintain the correct approach angle. A 5:1 scope ratio (line length to water depth) is the minimum requirement, but a 7:1 scope is recommended for optimal anchoring results.
Whether you’re anchoring in soft or moderate conditions, the American Yachting Series Vinyl Coated Fluke Anchor will keep your boat securely in place. Ideal for medium to heavy-duty applications, this anchor ensures your peace of mind while boating.
