Greenfield 669-11-R Mechanical Slip-Ring Anchor - Royal Blue Coated, 8 lb.

The Slip-Ring Anchor is a traditional fluke anchor design, with the addition of a sliding ring for easy retrieval. Fluke anchors require a scope of at least 5:1 (rope length to water depth) in order to set properly, and a 7:1 scope is recommended. Anchor chain should always be used with steel fluke anchors, to provide the weight necessary to maintain the proper approach angle for setting.

The anchor is retrieved by backing your boat directly over the anchor, which allows the ring to slide to the crown and release the anchor from the opposite direction. This anchor is recommended for moderate conditions and for light/medium duty. Weights may vary due to metal and coating content, and the listed weights are approximate.
