The Lewmar Claw is a stainless steel anchor cast in one piece. This one weighs 11 lb, and the maker's guide pairs that weight with boats of 18 to 22 ft. It is self-righting, sets quickly and resets if the pull comes from a new direction. The maker names various seabeds as suitable and says it stows on a bow roller.
Our take
At 11 lb this Claw sits in the maker's 18 to 22 ft band, and the maker calls its sizing table a guide only. Cast in one piece and self-righting, it is built to reset when the pull on it changes direction.
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.
