Best Anchor for your Sailboat

If you ask ten sailors what the best anchor is, you’ll get ten different answers. Furthermore, what works for one sailboat/one sailor won’t necessarily work for you. A better question to ask regarding the best anchor for your sailboat is this:

My boat is a (type of boat),
it weighs (weight),
has a beam of (width),
I plan on anchoring predominantly in (area – eg. Caribbean, etc.),
where the depths are up to (depth of water at high tide),
and the seabed is predominantly (mud, sand, grass, rocks, etc.),
I plan on being in the area during (season – eg. outside of hurricane/typhoon season),
and would like to carry no more than (chain/rope),
furthermore, I need to pull the anchor up using (my hands, automatic winch, etc.)

Ask that question followed by:

Do you have experiences anchoring within those specifications and can compare and contrast what anchor worked best for you?

Now that’s how you’ll get a more productive answer.

This is Simon happy with his anchor choice…Click the picture to check out Mantus Anchors

And there are two major components to successful anchoring – it’s certainly not all about the anchor. It’s also about the anchoring technique used.

Out of all the things I see that sailors get wrong (inexperienced and experienced), anchoring is top of the list (myself included – how do you think I’ve learned how not to drag?)

A fantastic anchor, perhaps perfect for your boat, won’t do you any good if you don’t properly set the anchor using the correct amount of scope considering the seabed, weather conditions, and so forth.

But lets push anchoring technique aside (but before I do, if you’re not sure about your technique, check out my Anchoring Guide…)

How To Anchor***READER REVIEW***
"This is was the perfect guide for me to read! We're about to sail around the Mediterranean for the season and I've been waking up night after night worrying about anchoring. Your tips on how to anchor are spot on. No one ever explained it so simple, yet concise. And I love the tip about the marriage savers. I've order some. Thank you for writing this guide Kim. Like all your guides they're easy to read but pack a punch." S. Mann

Let’s focus on the question at hand; what is the best anchor for your sailboat?

A key point is that you must match the strength of your anchoring equipment to your boat and its likely cruising grounds/conditions. In other words, you’ll need to determine what the load, or pressure, on the ground tackle will be in your worst-case scenario. Will you be sailing on a lake experiencing the maximum of 30 knots of wind OR might you get caught in a tropical storm or hurricane?

Once you understand the worst conditions you might get caught anchoring in, you’ll be best apt to decide what anchoring equipment is required to keep your boat from dragging.

Of course, if you’re only sailing in an area that has one kind of sea bottom research the various anchors to determine which one excels in that kind of setting. Better yet, ask locals as to the best anchor for the area.

If, however, you’ll be cruising to various different locations it’s important to get the best all around anchor.

When we started looking for the best anchor for our sailboat, aside from being adequate to handle our load, we looked for the following:

  • Needs to sets fast
  • Easy to drop/launch and fits will with the windless
  • Sets in a variety of different bottoms (predominantly sand and mud)
  • Is likely to reset itself if it does break loose
  • Low risk of being fouled by the anchor chain when it swings
  • Can break down making it easy for stowage
  • Is light enough to be able to pick up but heavy enough to drop quick and dig in
  • Will hold strong during storms

We watched several YouTube video reviews, asked what other sailors where buying and read various compare/contrast articles.

With a variety of good options out there, we felt somewhat confused as to the best way forward…

That is, until we acquired a new anchor for our dinghy.

Our grapnel anchor was terrible and we needed something better to hold our dinghy. If you’ve ever been to the Caribbean, there are dinghy docks on most islands. The docks are great but if you fail to use an anchor to keep the dinghy from smashing into the dock with the tide you’ll soon have a popped dinghy. (Yes – learned that by experience too. We popped our old dinghy on a dinghy in Mustique).

Very rarely did we ever anchor our dingy for the sole purpose of anchoring – it was almost always used as a popping prevention tool.

Simon would tie us onto the dinghy dock, throw the anchor over, jump off the boat to push the anchor in (grapnels are terrible for setting themselves)…and then he’d get back in the boat, pull the anchor line tight and off we went.

Hardly an ideal process. And Simon had to walk around wet for a while!

The new dinghy anchor we acquired was a Mantus Dinghy anchor. Upon getting the new anchor, Simon, Sienna and I decided to test its effectiveness against the Bruce (claw) and grapnel. We tested all three anchors in dry sand (to see how they moved), wet sand to see if they set and out in the harbor to put them under an engine load. Watch our Dinghy Anchor Review here.

Hands down the Mantus anchor was the winner.

Best Anchor For Your Sailboat

Simon putting out Mantus together

With such positive results, we decided to get a full sized Mantus Anchor for Britican.

The Mantus ticked all our needs:

  • It’s one of the fastest setting anchors out there
  • It’s easy to drop off our bow and fits our anchor plate area
  • The Mantus sets in sea bottoms that we mostly anchor in – sand and mud
  • If the Mantus gets turned upside down (something that worried us with our previous anchor) the roll bar enables the anchor to right itself and reset
  • If we need to store the Mantus anchor, it breaks down and lays flat
  • I can lift it up. Our previous anchor, the Excel, was impossible for me to lift.

I’ve written this article not necessarily to promote Mantus, but to show you the process in which we came to our conclusion. There are loads of great anchors out there but the key is to find the one that will be best for you.

If you do, however, want a Mantus, we’re a part of their affiliate program. If you click this link and then buy anything on the Mantus website you don’t pay any more yet we get a commission. Using affiliate links helps to pay for articles like these and the 100+ videos that we have on YouTube. Click here to check out Mantus Anchors

If you do, however, get a Mantus Anchor, this is how it comes packaged and how you’ll need to put it together.

    This is awesome information! We have a Bruce, which is perfect for sailing in the PNW where most bottoms are fairly muddy. We have only owned (and lived aboard) for almost a year, so we are still fairly new at anchoring, but we spent two weeks in the San Juans at anchor and we learned a lot! You’re right about it not all being about the type of anchor. We found that a huge part of our success was how well we communicated with each other while anchoring. It helps so much when you can work as a team!

      So true about working as a team. I fear that many marriages have been ended due to anchoring debates. Hehehehe. I just don’t think new sailors (and even some seasoned sailors) understand the art of anchoring. It’s not as easy as it looks. Thanks for commenting Steph. K.

    Hi all
    Excellent anchor post.
    Those 7# grapnel anchor are alright for a drag anchor on 10-16-ft. fishing tender however to give more dig in attach 7 to 10 ft. heavy chain leader w/heavy shackle & 5 -10 # kellet at crown eye & large swivel shackle at other end of chain leader – tie a light wt. zip tie to anchor shank eye & a chain link – then will be able to trip anchor should it become fouled.

    I used this anchor SeaChoice 41610 on my 14ft Jon boat. First off it’s the weight. This is so light I couldn’t believe it. The second was the hold. Once I figure out how it works you won’t move. I had this in 12-16mph winds, and my boat never moved from its spot.

Anchoring is easy once you know how to do it. You Anchoring is easy once you know how to do it. You find a spot that looks like good holding, drop the anchor while slowly backing the boat up (so the chain leads out rather than falling into a big clump). Once all the chain is out (5x the depth), you pull back using the engine to set the anchor into the seabed. As long as the anchor is holding while in reverse, you’re good to go! Once the engine is off, jump in water and check out the anchor.  Checkout SailingBritican on YouTube for the full video. #sailing #sailingexperience #sailingexperiences
🌊There are a variety of issues that can happen 🌊There are a variety of issues that can happen when you’re boating. This is not to deter or scare you from the amazing lifestyle. Living and sailing our boat has been the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. It becomes even more enjoyable when you know the risks and HOW to deal with them.

Some of the main boat-specific safety issues include:

🔵loss of engine,
🔵taking on water,
🔵can’t get the sails down/in,
🔵collision,
🔵running aground,
🔵man overboard,
🔵abandoning ship,
🔵and fire.

There are set procedures you can create to deal with each of these issues. For man overboard, there is the figure-of-eight or heave-to procedure. For running aground, there are a handful of things you can do to get floating again. If there is a fire in the engine there is one procedure and another for the galley.

Having all your equipment listed and explained, in addition to how it works within a procedure, is a winning formula for dealing with boat safety issues.

🌊The only 5-masted tall ship sunk because of it 🌊The only 5-masted tall ship sunk because of its speed

In 1902, the first-ever full-rigged five masters were built: the Preußen. It was the only 5-masted full-rigged ship ever built, until the Swedish sail cruise liner Royal Clipper was launched in 2000.

(To be clear: there were other five masters, but none of them was a tall ship.)

It sailed between Germany and Chile and was capable of transporting large amounts of goods at high speeds. Its hull length was 433' (132 m). She carried 47 sails (which is a lot).

In 1910, just 8 years after her launch, she sank into the English Channel due to damage from a collision with a small cross-channel steamer, 'Brighton'. The Brighton underestimated Preußens speed, at 16 knots.

Legend has it the skipper said: "a sailboat can't go that fast" - after which the two collided.

Many new sailing cruisers make a huge mess out of Many new sailing cruisers make a huge mess out of mooring balls. The reason?!?! Many sailing schools don’t teach them! The best advice I can give you is to go out with an experienced sailing cruiser and practice tying onto them for a few hours. With just a bit of practice you’ll see how easy they are and will avoid the embarrassment that novice sailors feel.

The real corker, however, was our trip back from Bermuda to North Carolina. It was bad. Very bad. Perhaps it’s worth you watching our video so you know just how bad it can get so you make sure to pick a good weather window!

🔵Get a feel for sailing to Bermuda before you go there yourself.

Within each of our Sailing Guide areas on the website, we provide information that will give you a feel for our passage to and throughout the area. The information includes our passage plan and route, a diary-style article about what we got up to and videos showcasing the surrounding area, and/or some sort of extra about how to be a bluewater cruiser.

🔵In this series, you’ll start off with learning about how to prepare the boat for a long passage and you’ll end with what it’s like to sail the Atlantic Ocean in heavy seas.

🔵Each article and post has been created so that you can get an idea as to the various areas, what some of the highlights are, whether we think they’re a hit or miss, and some of the difficulties we ran into. Our hope is that these sailing destination series will prepare you a bit more for not only the sailing cruiser life but show you want to expect before you arrive.

🌊Sailboats can sail faster than the speed of th 🌊Sailboats can sail faster than the speed of the wind

Most boats can't go faster than the speed of the wind. But some racing yachts and most multihulls can. The reason is two-fold.

The reason it's possible is that boats generate their own wind, allowing them to 'surf their own wave' so to speak, increasing their speed.

Secondly, keelboats have a displacement hull: they push the water forward, which means they have to deal with resistance, and this resistance increases when the speed increases.

But this isn't a problem with the rise of multihulls. Multihulls use flat beds instead of a keel, which means the hulls are floating on top of the water’s surface. This allows them to go much faster since they don't have to deal with water resistance.
