Anchors & Accessories for Secure Mooring

As an official representative of Lalizas, Gaelix Marine Service offers a wide range of anchors and accessories for various types of vessels. A reliable anchor ensures safety during mooring, stability in harsh weather conditions, and overall confidence on the water.

Popular Types of Anchors

• Delta Type – Provides excellent holding power, ideal for sandy and muddy seabeds.

• Lofrans' ALPHA – Designed for maximum stability in diverse conditions.

• Bruce Type – Self-burying, works well on soft and clay-rich seabeds.

• Danforth Type – Lightweight and easy to use, perfect for soft bottoms.

• CQR Type – A classic design with a pivoting shank, effective in changing wind conditions.

• Plough Anchor – Maintains a strong grip even in shifting currents.

• Hall Type C – A durable and reliable option, often used for commercial vessels.

• Folding Anchor – Compact and easy to store, ideal for small boats.

• Grapnel Anchor (hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel 304) – Excellent for rocky and uneven seabeds.

Essential Anchor Accessories

• Anchor chain connectors (Inox 316) – Strong and corrosion-resistant.

• Bow rollers and chocks (Inox 304/316) – Ensure smooth lowering and retrieval.

• Stemhead and Anchor Block – Convenient storage solutions that protect the hull.

How to Choose the Right Anchor?

Choosing an anchor depends on several key factors:

1. Type of vessel – Folding anchors are great for small boats, while Delta and Plough models are best for larger yachts.

2. Seabed conditions – Bruce and Plough anchors work well on sand and clay, Danforth is best for mud, and Grapnel is ideal for rocky bottoms.

3. Size and weight – The anchor must match the size of the boat; too light won’t hold, too heavy will be hard to manage.

4. Weather conditions – If you often face storms and strong currents, consider high-holding power options like CQR.
