Where to buy
The G-125 is a Guardian anchor from Fortress Marine Anchors. The maker presents the Guardian range as an alternative to heavy steel anchors, and all Fortress anchors are made in the USA. This model comes with no weight, dimensions or holding figures stated, so check the maker's sizing guidance for weight and holding power before you settle on a size for your boat.
Our take
The Guardian line is the maker's alternative to heavy steel anchors, and the G-125 belongs to it. If you are weighing a steel anchor, compare the maker's weight and holding figures for this size first.
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.
