Description

The primary function of the Shackle is to attach the anchor to the anchor chain or rode.

Shackles are designed to handle the immense forces of holding a boat in place against wind, waves, and currents.

The shackle allows the anchor and chain to pivot and move slightly, reducing stress on the connection point and helping the anchor set properly into the seabed.

Large fluke = large holding power

An anchor’s weight is the least important factor for how well it sets or holds. The key is the size of the fluke or its surface area. The XYZ Air Anchor has a 1250cm² fluke, which is 2-5 times bigger than others of similar size.

In short, a bigger fluke means more friction and resistance under sediment (clay, sand, gravel, etc) because it covers more area. This gives the anchor better stability, making it harder to dislodge due to its increased contact with the seabed.

FLUKE SIZE, NOT WEIGHT, DETERMINES HOLDING POWER

When it comes to holding power, the fluke size is the only factor that matters, everything else is just dead weight. 83% of the XYZ Air Anchor's weight is in the huge fluke.

XYZ Anchor has the largest fluke area, which increases friction and therefore holding power when set deep in any sea bottom.

Our anchor works well in sand, clay, and mud even when overpowered irrelevant of the boat's power, weight, and size.
