Fortress FX-16 Anchor - 10 lbs - Perfect for 33'-38' Boats

The Fortress FX-16 anchor, weighing just 10 lbs (5 kg), is an outstanding choice for boats ranging from 33 to 38 feet. This innovative anchor offers a superior anchoring solution by replacing traditional steel anchors of 14 to 18 lbs with a lighter alternative that maintains effectiveness.

With dimensions of 31 inches in length and 25 inches in width, along with an 18-inch fluke, the FX-16 boasts a remarkable holding capacity of up to 5,000 lbs in hard sand.

Constructed from a reinforced aluminum-magnesium alloy, this anchor is less than one-third the weight of a comparable steel anchor while providing over double the holding power. This design not only elevates performance but also allows sailors to enjoy a reliable anchoring experience without excessive weight.

Particularly ideal for motorboats and inflatable vessels, the Fortress FX-16 also serves as an excellent secondary anchor for larger boats. Its detachable design facilitates easy storage and transport, making it a smart choice for those with limited onboard space.

To achieve optimal anchoring performance, the FX-16 includes recommended angles: a 32° angle for anchoring in sand and a 45° angle for soft mud. This versatility helps sailors secure the best possible hold in varying conditions.

The FX-16 is not only lightweight and user-friendly, but it also boasts reliability, thanks to its high-strength aluminum-magnesium composition. Its seamless construction significantly enhances strength and durability, ensuring steadfast anchoring even in harsher environments.

Designed for adaptability, the anchor offers two adjustable fluke angles—32° for sand and 45° for soft mud—allowing sailors to tailor their anchoring setup to suit specific conditions. Its lightweight nature promotes easy handling and reduces weight at the bow, improving overall boat performance.

Every component is carefully machined, anodized, and interconnected for exceptional corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties, guaranteeing it remains in prime condition after prolonged marine exposure. The anchor's assembly and disassembly are straightforward, making it an incredibly convenient option for those needing to stow their gear.

Manufactured proudly in the USA, the Fortress FX-16 is recognized for its quality, having received approval from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
