Fortress FX Series Anchor

Best value in anchoring safety and convenience

Made from a high-tensile, corrosion resistant aluminium magnesium alloy, the Fortress FX Series Danforth-Style Anchor ensures easier handling along with faster setting and deeper penetration in common sea bottoms compared to traditional and much heavier steel anchors. It's precision-machined into interlocking components with no welds to weaken the metal. This results in a lighter, easy to handle anchor with superior holding power. The FX series is available in different sizes suitable from small boats to yachts.

Mud Palms
All Fortress Anchors feature Mud Palms designed to help the anchor set faster in any type of sea bottom. Mud Palms create a "lift" to the crown of the anchor, causing the flukes to point more directly to the seabed. This helps the anchor set faster ... in any bottom.

2 Fluke Angle Positions
The Fortress anchor can be reassembled from the normal 32 degree angle to 45 degrees to increase holding power in soft mud bottoms by as much as 400%!
