Fortress Guardian Anchor 6 Lb For 23-27' Boat, G-11
Guardian, the value priced anchor from Fortress.
|
Benefiting from
years of Fortress Anchor Research and Development, Guardian offers excellent
quality, performance and economy. Guardian is made from the same high
tensile, corrosion resistant aluminum magnesium alloy and manufacturing
precision as Fortress.
The use of
slightly smaller extrusion profiles and the elimination of some of Fortress’
extra features, such as anodizing, adjustable fluke angles, and several
machining steps has resulted in a very affordable alternative to those
heavy, rust-prone steel anchors.

Anchor Selection & Specifications Guide |
|
Boat size
recommendations are for boats of average windage and proportions in 30 knots
of wind, average bottom conditions, and moderate protection from open seas.
Remember that the loads in 42 knots of wind are twice as much as in 30
knots.
Use
three-strand nylon rope, 6-12 ft (2-4 m) of chain and a minimum of 5:1
scope. Also, a minimum of 6 ft (2 m) of chain should be used for every 25 ft
(8 m) of water depth. For storm conditions use an anchor one or two sizes
larger. |

FORTRESS and Guardian anchors under controlled horizontal pull conditions
without dragging or resulting in disabling structural deformation.
** Rope
recommendations are based on 25% of breaking strength. Rope must be in good
condition. |
