Lewmar's DTX is a 316 stainless steel anchor based on the Delta design. This 35 lb size is sized by the maker for boats of 26 to 38 ft, with 5/16 inch HT/G4 chain. Lead ballast sits in the tip and the shaft has a profile aimed at fast setting. It is certified to the Lloyd's Ordinary Holding Power standard and guaranteed for 3 years against breakage.
Our take
Lead ballast in the tip and a shaft profile made for fast setting are the working parts of this 35 lb DTX. It is 316 stainless, sized by the maker for boats of 26 to 38 ft on 5/16 inch HT/G4 chain, and guaranteed for 3 years against breakage.
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.
