Lewmar Delta® Anchor - Galvanized - 14lb Product Description
Why the Lewmar Delta Anchor Stands Out for Reliable Anchoring
Navigating coastal waters or anchoring in varied seabeds demands an anchor that deploys effortlessly and holds firm. The Lewmar Delta anchor excels here with its innovative plow-style design, featuring a unique shank profile and lead ballasted tip. This combination makes it self-launching from the bow roller, eliminating the hassle of manual positioning. Once dropped, the low center of gravity and self-righting geometry ensure it penetrates the seabed immediately, providing consistent holding power even in moderate currents or winds.
Crafted for boaters who prioritize safety and performance, this 14lb galvanized model suits vessels up to 35 feet, making it a go-to choice for day sailors, weekend cruisers, and liveaboard adventurers alike. Its hot-dip galvanized manganese steel construction resists corrosion in saltwater environments, delivering years of dependable service.
Engineered for Superior Holding in Diverse Conditions
The Delta's geometry mimics a plow, slicing through sand, mud, and clay with ease while struggling less in rocky or weedy bottoms compared to some fluke-style anchors. Boaters report exceptional reset capability if the initial set shifts due to tide or boat swing— a critical feature for overnight anchoring in exposed bays.
- Self-Launching Mechanism: Shank and tip design allows seamless deployment without snagging.
- High Holding Power Certification: Approved by Lloyd's Register as a high holding power anchor, with test certification options for peace of mind.
- Proven in Real-World Use: Selected as the primary anchor by multiple national lifeboat services worldwide.
Pair it with 1/4-inch chain for optimal performance, enhancing catenary and scope to maximize holding capacity without needing excessive rode length.

Tips for Deployment and Maintenance
To get the most from your Delta anchor, deploy with at least 5:1 scope in normal conditions, increasing to 7:1 or more in rough weather. Back down gently with the engine to confirm set before relaxing. For storage, rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and debris, then inspect the galvanized coating for any chips—touch up with zinc-rich paint if needed.
This anchor's lifetime guarantee against breakage (excluding deformation) underscores Lewmar's confidence, backed by a limited 3-year warranty on manufacturing defects.
