I’m redesigning my anchor strategy, so this great anchor is now up for sale. Please see specification below.
£140 if collected in Manchester or £150 to postage within UK (sorry excluding NI, Highlands and Islands - but happy to include at additional cost)
Fortress Model FX16
Fortress Anchor FX Series Alloy
A highly rated anchor that has always performed well in many tests over the years. Constructed using a high-tensile, corrosion-resistant, aluminium magnesium alloy, Fortress Anchors outperform and give superior holding power to much heavier steel anchors, whilst being much lighter and easier to handle. Precision-machined for sharpness and quick penetration, which ensures faster setting performance, they suit most common sea bottoms. The flukes are also adjustable to 45° for use in soft mud. Fortress anchors are also ideal for use as a secondary/kedge anchor.
