Lewmar Claw Anchor - Galvanized - 22lb
Lewmar Claw Anchor - Galvanized - 22lb — Product description
Picture this: you're out on the water, the wind picking up, and you need an anchor that bites down fast and holds steady no matter what the seabed throws at it. That's where the Lewmar Claw Anchor shines. Inspired by the rugged anchors that tame the North Sea's oil rigs, this 22lb galvanized beast is built from top-tier steel to deliver reliable performance for boaters who demand the best. Whether you're dropping it in mud, sand, gravel, or even rocky patches, it sets with minimal fuss and resets itself if the conditions shift—keeping your vessel secure through changing tides and winds.
Why Boaters Trust the Claw Design for Everyday Anchoring
The Claw's unique shape mimics the proven Bruce anchor profile, making it a go-to for recreational sailors, fishermen, and cruisers. Its low center of gravity and wide fluke ensure it penetrates seabeds quickly without dragging. Galvanized finish fights off rust in saltwater environments, extending its life even after seasons of heavy use. Plus, its compact form slides effortlessly onto most bow rollers, saving deck space and simplifying storage during your voyages.
Boat owners often rave about how it outperforms fluke-style anchors in mixed bottoms where others struggle. For vessels up to 47 feet, this 22lb model packs super-high holding power, giving you peace of mind when anchoring overnight or in crowded bays.
Standout Features That Make Anchoring Effortless
- Versatile Holding: Excels across mud, sand, clay, and gravel—sets fast and stays put.
- Self-Righting Geometry: Rolls into position even if dropped wrong, reducing reset trips.
- Bow Roller Compatible: Stows neatly without custom modifications on most yachts and sailboats.
- Corrosion-Resistant Galvanizing: High-grade hot-dip zinc coating for long-term durability in harsh marine conditions.
- Proven Holding Power: Engineered for serious pull resistance, ideal for boats 30-47 feet depending on conditions.

Pro Tips for Getting the Most from Your Claw Anchor
Pair it with at least 10-15 feet of chain to keep the shank low and maximize bite—think 5/16" proof-grade for this size. When deploying, let out scope at a 5:1 to 7:1 ratio for best results. In softer mud, give it a slight backing down to dig in deeper. Retrieval is straightforward: motor up slowly under power to pull it free without fouling.
Maintenance is simple—rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, inspect the galvanizing annually, and touch up any chips with zinc spray. This keeps it looking sharp and holding strong year after year.
