Developed from
the Spade and Océane anchors, the New SWORD anchor combines performance with
affordability. Using the SPADE's legendary concave blade and the
Océane's tip mounted shank principle the Sword offers enormous holding power
coupled with light weight.
The SWORD
Based on exactly the same principles that have made
the SPADE anchor the success it is today, the SWORD
offers the following unique advantages
(Patented)
:
Fast penetration
into nearly all sea bottoms, thanks to the optimisation of both weight at
the anchor tip and the ideal penetrating angle.
Adjustable pulling angle
according to the various sea beds, mud or sand
without dismantling the anchor or the mooring line.
Exceptional holding,
thanks to the optimisation of the shape of
the fluke and of the surface area/weight ratio (between
two and three times the holding of conventional anchors weight for weight).
High holding, even with a low scope.
Easy break out when the bow is vertically above the anchor.
Snug fit on most bow rollers,
Easy stowage either on the bow roller or in an anchor locker (compact
shape).
Thanks to the
specific shape
of the shank, it does not interfere with the Genoa reefing drum.
Easy stowage either on the bow roller or in an anchor locker (compact
shape)
Very attractive price.
PLEASE NOTE SOME PICTURES ON THIS
SITE ARE OF THE OCÉANE ANCHOR WHICH IS OF A SIMILAR DESIGN TO THE SWORD,
ONLY WITH A SHORTER MORE ROUNDED SHANK.
