The Best Marine Anchor in The World According to 20 Independent Tests
For over two decades, the much lighter Fortress has out-performed substantially heavier steel anchors in holding power tests conducted around the world. In the US Navy tests, not only did the Fortress anchors out-perform heavier steel anchors, they were also able to withstand pull loads that averaged over 200x their own weight…and without incurring serious damage.
The test report summary reads:
“The fact that Fortress anchors incurred no significant structural damage at such high holding ratios suggests that the anchors have been extensively engineered from both the hydrodynamic and structural standpoints.”
A Fluke Anchor with Superior Design
Fortress Anchors are often imitated but never bested. They are constructed, entirely in the USA, using a high-tensile, corrosion-resistant, aluminum magnesium allow that is 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. All Fortress Marine Anchors have been designed to be easily disassembled for compact storage, or as a spare and/or a storm anchor.
Additionally, all Fortress Marine Anchors are precision-machined for sharpness and quick penetration into common sea bottoms, which insures faster setting performance.
Finally, Fortress and Guardian Marine Anchors also include precision “mud palms” to aid in setting in all bottom conditions and to solve the anchoring problems found in very soft mud. The mud palms are a set of plates that bolt onto the anchor. These plates create a “lift” to the crown of the anchor, causing the flukes to point more directly into the sea bed. This design helps Fortress to set faster than other boat anchors.
