The Lewmar Claw is a one-piece cast anchor in stainless steel. This 22 lb size is the maker's recommendation for boats of 25 to 31 ft, and the maker's table is meant as a guide only. The design is self-righting, sets quickly and is described as suitable for various seabeds. It stows on a bow roller.
Our take
The 22 lb Claw is sized by the maker for 25 to 31 ft boats, and it is self-righting and resets quickly when the pull changes direction. That matters when the boat swings at anchor. The one-piece cast body is also meant to stow on a bow roller.
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.
