Description
The Spade "S" anchors are workhorses! Made of hot-dipped galvanized steel, the S series will take abuse and keep on holding. Whether you are dropping your hook in the Caribbean, or Newfoundland, the S series is the anchor that will let you sleep at night knowing that you aren't going anywhere.
SPADE anchors dig deeply into the sea floor. Once they are within the sea floor, the concave shape of SPADE anchors is designed to compact the sea floor, and thus not to move! This is what makes the design so unique!
The Manufacturer of the SPADE anchor never refers to an anchor's weight in its selection process, but rather to its effective surface area. The remarkable efficiency of a SPADE anchor is due to the size, and shape, of its effective surface.
The SPADE anchor is manufactured in three materials (Galvanized Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel), and comes in a size for most boat up to mid-sized yachts. Hi-tensile steel versions are hot-dip galvanized. All SPADE anchors of the same size, regard less of the material they are made of, will work with the same efficiency.
Galvanised steel models range from:
the S40 weighing 5.5 kg for boats under 6.50 m and 1 T
to the SQ520 weighing 170 kg for boats 75-200 T
