High-performance plate anchors from Florida
FORTRESS anchors have become well established around the world since 1986. The high performance anchors (Made in USA) are made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminium-magnesium alloy, are sharp and can penetrate most seabeds faster and deeper than larger and considerably heavier conventional steel anchors.
In tests by the US Navy, FORTRESS plate anchors not only outperformed much heavier steel anchors, they were also able to withstand tensile loads that averaged 200 times their own weight without taking any damage themselves. Buy the right sized FORTRESS anchor for your boat from SVB: for example type FX-23 weighing just under 7 kg, suitable for boats from 12 to 14m.

A question about:
Plate Anchor / Aluminium

Flag of English Measurements off Fortress anchors given in catalog, are just for flukes or owerall?

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your question. The measurement stated in the SVB24 catalogue refers to the overall length of the anchor - top to bottom of the shank. I hope this helps! Best Regards, Jack
