The Lewmar Delta is a 35 lb (15.9 kg) anchor in polished stainless steel. A ballasted tip and a shank profile that launches from a bow roller are part of the design. The maker recommends 8.0 mm (5/16 in) chain with it. It carries Lloyd's Register approval as a high holding power anchor design, and the maker guarantees it for life against breakage.
Our take
The shank profile lets the Delta launch itself from a bow roller, so it suits a boat with a roller at the stem. Size the chain to the maker's 8.0 mm (5/16 in) recommendation.
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.
