This is the all stainless steel version of the Rocna anchor in the 55 kg size, which weighs 121 lb. It is a roll-bar design, and the maker describes the finish as mirror polished. The steel is tempered 800 mPa high tensile, and the anchor has no moving parts. A slotted attachment point lets a shackle head pass through, and the range carries RINA certification for Super High Holding Power. Rocna backs it with a lifetime warranty against breakage or deformation.
Our take
The slotted attachment point lets a shackle head pass, so the largest shackle that fits your chain can go straight onto the anchor. At 121 lb (55 kg) this is a heavy piece of stainless, and Rocna covers it with a lifetime warranty against breakage or deformation.
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.
