The Danforth Hi-Tensile is a 90 lb anchor that the maker sizes for boats 65 to 75 ft. Its large flukes are fabricated for added strength and beveled for quick, deep penetration of the bottom, and the shank is drop-forged steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish. The maker credits the holding power to the quick, deep setting design and to design and materials rather than weight. The sizing table is a guide only, so confirm the choice for your boat.
Our take
Fabricated, beveled flukes are what let this 90 lb Hi-Tensile set quickly and deep, and the maker credits that design rather than weight for the holding. The 65 to 75 ft boat range is a guide only, so treat it as a starting point and confirm it for your boat.
From our buying guide
The Coast Guard does not regulate anchors, so no anchor carries its approval. Each maker sizes on its own assumptions, so a size on one chart does not translate to another.
Check before you buy:
- You know what wind the maker's chart assumes. Rocna's assumes 50 knots and Fortress's 30 knots.
- It fits your bow, since makers say some designs fit bow rollers, bow pulpits or bowsprits better.
- The type suits your bottom. A Coast Guard Auxiliary article says the right type depends a lot on your boat, your anchoring and the make-up of the bottom.
