Box Anchor

The Box Anchor is a state of the art offshore anchor that brings anchoring to a new level of sophistication, allowing you to have more control over the placement of your boat in any situation, regardless of the current and bottom condition. Making the Box Anchor easier to handle, it requires no chain and only a 2 to 1 scope; that's just twice the depth of the water and half the amount of line required for a traditional anchor. The Box Anchor is designed to do all the work for you. Just kill the engine and toss the anchor overboard, it's that easy. The Box Anchor will hit the bottom, role to its side, and set within 1ft, no need to power down. The Box Anchor's unique patented design allows it to hold your boat at a 45-degree angle from the bottom, digging the downward facing flukes firmly into the bottom without snagging them permanently on debris. When it comes to retrieval, just pull the line to bring the boat over the top of the anchor and the lack of upward facing surface area will allow the Box Anchor to pop right off the bottom. This same principal works in wind or current change. With a traditional anchor, if you are in a cove or canyon and the wind direction suddenly changes, you have to power up the boat, retrieve the anchor, and try to reset it to accommodate the new situation. The Box Anchor has been designed to take care of all of this for you. The new wind direction brings the boat over the top of the anchor freeing it from the bottom, but as the boat passes over the top of the anchor and continues towards its new resting place, the Box Anchor simply roles over on its other side to set firmly in the new direction. When it comes time for storage, simply retrieve the anchor, release the stainless steel stabilizing arm, and fold the Box Anchor completely flat to be stored in its ventilated storage bag. visit www.slideanchor.com for more info

which size can hold about 1000 newtons or 205 lb of force with giving way?

Bet that would be real friendly to the grass on a flat lol

Only a complete boating idiot or noobie "tosses" or throws an anchor. Put the boat where you want the anchor to be while facing into the wind or current, and gently LOWER the anchor. When it hits bottom, let more line out (the "scope") and give the boat a kick in reverse to set it. Maybe this thing works in a creek or pond, but I wouldn't want it on the open salty.

Big idea!

I bought 7 of them over the years.

Was skeptical at first when we saw them for the first time at the boat show.

But they are excellent.

10 ft of heavy chain helps them work even better.

Works great at the the sand dunes too. Just attach your power winch cable to the anchor and pull yourself out.

The farther out the Box anchor the better your winch will work.

Folds away nicely.

The only thing I'd change is a much heavier duty carrying bag, and an easier to depress spring lock mechanism
