Manufactured in Europe, the
Ultra Anchor range is the
pinnacle in anchoring
technology and design.
Completely hand made from
316 stainless steel and hand
polished, every Ultra Anchor
is designed for excellence.
The Ultra Anchor
demonstrates why a correct
weight distribution and
design is so important when
setting and recovering your
anchor. In fact, invert any
Ultra Anchor and it will
instantly recover itself to
the attack position.
Such performance has been
achieved with the innovative
patented features this
anchor displays; including a
curved lead filled tip for
instant penetration, a
hollow shank for optimal
weight distribution,
concaved base surfaces for
maximum holding power and
large side wing plates to
avoid release during
changing wind or tide
conditions. Furthermore,
each anchor is easily
recoverable with the flat
pivot surface on the
underside base.
The Ultra Anchor is suitable
for all vessel types and
locates securely onto the
bow roller. Standard anchor
sizes range from 8kg to
200kg with larger anchors
available upon request.
Sourcing Europe’s finest
materials and fabricated by
specialist engineers, the
Ultra Anchor is supplied
with a
LIFETIME WARRANTY
against manufacturing
defects under normal
conditions and use.
We
don’t compromise on quality
or design, nor should you –
protect your investment in
style. |

•
Hollow Shank –
Enables weight to be
concentrated on anchor tip.
•
Tubular Construction –
Anchor cannot lie
on its spine and recovers
instantly to the attack
position. Anchor will also
load correctly into the bow
roller.
•
Lead Filled Tip –
Lead is inserted into
the anchor tip, achieving
the optimal weight
distribution and ensuring
the anchor will penetrate
unfavourable bottom
conditions.
•
Curved Tip –
Importantly, the anchor tip
is shaped downwards,
ensuring an instant set in
the sea floor.
•
Max Holding Power Base –
The concaved
base/fluke has the
appearance of a spade or
shovel, and has extreme
holding power with a greater
surface area than
conventional style anchors.
The result is a more secure,
higher holding power anchor
that will not release.
•
Side Wing Plates –
The Ultra Anchor does
not release in a changing
wind or tide, it performs a
complete 180 degree rotation
(while still buried) on its
own length and holds firm.
The side wing plates assist
the anchor to perform this
procedure and also act to
stabilize the anchor as it
penetrates the sea floor.
•
Flat Underside –
Once you begin to recover
the anchor from the sea
floor, it pivots itself on
the flat section and begins
to release (boat should be
directly over anchor).
•
Non Chain-Foul Bar –
Often chain can foul
around the shank of the
anchor, resulting in the
anchor not able to set. The
clever design feature of the
non chain-foul bar ensures
chain simply cannot wrap
around the shank and
provides the ability to
attach a trip line.
•
Reinforced Eye –
Even under the most extreme
load the shanks’ reinforced
eye will not bend, break or
fail.
•
Anchor Weight Detail –
The anchor weight is
stamped into the shank and
identifies the anchor size
in both kg’s and lbs.
•
Serial Number –
Every Ultra Anchor is
stamped with a unique serial
number, ensuring your anchor
is always identifiable. |

The Ultra Anchor suits
most bow rollers
and is suitable for all
vessel types. |
“The
Ultra Anchor sets within 1m – and I mean up
to the shank! In one of the inlets the wind
shifted 180 degrees and the anchor reset itself
by turning around on its own length. We spent
two days held up in a small inlet in 35 - 45
knot winds. Although my bridle parted; losing my
thimble causing our Catamaran to swing wildly,
the Ultra Anchor never moved according to the
GPS markers. I can finally leave the boat and go
on long tours, but most importantly I can sleep
at night!”
Steve Dinger – S/V Tivoli 472 Catana
Catamaran,July 2007
“The Ultra garnered excellent set ratings at
both the long and short scope. Overall the Ultra
fell toward the high end in holding power for
anchors tested.”
Practical Sailor Magazine – Volume 34, Jan 2008
“The Ultra showed no weak point. On each floor
it stopped after a few metres and the tractor
could not break it. A very good all rounder, the
anchor would win any designer prize – 5 stars.”
Segeln Magazine – Anchor Test Article, Sep 2006
We replaced our Lloyds approved high holding
power anchor which consistently failed to hold
our yacht, with the Ultra stainless steel anchor
and swivel of the same weight. I am delighted to
confirm that the 80kg not only looks superb, but
has held my 100 ton yacht securely during 2 days
of 40 knot winds with gusts up to 50 knots.”
