Manson Supreme 5lb-2.3kg Galvanised Anchor

The Manson Supreme is among the top anchors in terms of holding power and setting reliability.

Its unique dual shank design eliminates the need for a buoyed retrieval line, which can often tangle, ensuring a hassle-free setup. The roll bar guarantees the correct setting angles, allowing for immediate and secure anchoring. However, it’s worth checking that the roll bar doesn’t cause any fitting issues, as this can occasionally happen.

The anchor’s spearhead design excels in challenging environments, effortlessly penetrating weed-covered seabeds. The shank, constructed from high-tensile Bisalloy 80 steel with a strength rating of 780 MPa, provides exceptional resistance to deformation under heavy loads.

The fluke features a reinforced, double-skinned laminated toe, strengthening the forward section where most of the load is concentrated. Additionally, the sharpened spearhead ensures excellent penetration into the seabed.

The rockslot feature allows the shackle to slide to the front of the anchor, where a traditional trip line would be, increasing the chances of retrieval if the anchor becomes snagged. While this doesn’t guarantee recovery in all cases, it significantly improves the odds, making it ideal for anchoring in rocky environments.

The Manson Supreme has been reviewed by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and has earned Super High Holding Power (SHHP) status, confirming its superior performance.
