SPADE...   the World's most reliable anchor

When Alain Poiraud designed the first SPADE anchor in the mid 1990's, little did he know that his new anchor was about to launch a new era in anchoring technology.

Originally designed to penetrate Mediterranean sea-grass, the SPADE anchor has now been proven in tests and experiences the world over and represents a giant leap forward in anchor design.

The "Dyson" of the anchor world, Alain, a retired engineer was turned away by anchor manufacturers when he tried to sell his patents to fund his cruising life, so he set up a factory in Tunisia himself and his anchor is now famous the world over.
