ULTRA MARINE Anchor AISI 316L

Our first contact with Ultra Marine was seeing a beautiful, highly polished stainless steel anchor on a yacht, which looked very, very classy in combination with the dark blue hull, a teak sullage edge and the white GRP deck. The next thought was, what might it cost? Is it only nice or also good? Who is the manufacturer?

Meanwhile we know quite a lot and yes, Ultra Marine - the manufacturer of this "beautiful" anchor produces rather high-priced anchors, which are used on more than 15.000 yachts and boats worldwide and have proven in daily use as well as in many tests that they are the fastest holding and safest anchors on the market. To the technology:

The anchors are manufactured in Turkey, by hand, from high-quality stainless steel. The material is " 316L ", which stands for an extremely corrosion-resistant, iron-based alloy that does not rust. In the area of the shaft, "318NL" is used, which belongs to the so-called DUPLEX steels and has an extremely high strength and yield strength as well as resistance to corrosion. Approximately 70% of the anchor weight is located in the front part (area of the tip) of the anchor - this ensures that the anchor always lies in the optimal position on the ground, which allows for quick burial. This alignment is also helpful for catching up the anchor on board. On the one hand the anchor can be easily "broken out" in a position above the anchor and it rotates into the right position for easy recovery at the bow with bow roller/bow shaft when applied.

Every Ultra anchor comes with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects that occur under normal use and conditions.
