Lewmar Delta® Anchor - Stainless Steel - 22lb Product Description
Why the Lewmar Delta Anchor Stands Out on the Water
Picture this: you're anchoring in a secluded cove after a long day of sailing, the sun dipping below the horizon. The last thing you want is an anchor that drags or fails to set. That's where the Lewmar Delta shines. This plow-style anchor, crafted in durable stainless steel and weighing a solid 22 pounds, is engineered for boaters who demand reliability without the fuss.
Unlike traditional anchors that might flop around or require multiple attempts, the Delta's innovative design grabs hold fast. Its ballasted tip and low center of gravity mean it rights itself and digs in right away—self-launching from the bow roller with minimal effort. Whether you're on a coastal cruiser or a mid-sized yacht, this anchor provides peace of mind in mud, sand, or gravel bottoms.
Proven Performance Backed by Real-World Testing
Boaters worldwide trust the Delta for its consistent holding power, which has earned it high marks from testing authorities. It's the go-to choice for national lifeboat services, proving its mettle in demanding conditions. The unique shank profile prevents it from fouling on its own rode, reducing reset risks during wind shifts or tides.
In practical terms, pair it with the recommended chain size for optimal performance. This setup ensures the anchor penetrates deeply without skipping, holding firm against pulls from multiple directions. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from saltwater exposure, keeping it looking sharp and functioning flawlessly season after season.
Maximize Your Anchoring Success: Pro Tips
To get the most from your Delta anchor, deploy it at a scope of at least 5:1 in good holding ground—more in softer bottoms. Let out chain first to keep the pull low and horizontal, promoting that signature plow action. When retrieving, power forward slowly while winching to break it free without straining gear.
For overnight stays or crowded anchorages, test-set by reversing at idle speed. If it holds, you're golden. Regular inspections for wear on the tip and fluke keep it ready for action. This anchor's self-righting geometry makes it forgiving, but smart technique amplifies its strengths.
- Ideal Conditions: Sand, mud, and mixed seabeds—avoids rocks where possible.
- Boat Fit: Perfect for vessels 30-40 feet, scaling up holding with proper rode.
- Edge Over Competitors: Smoother deployment than fluke styles, better reset than some fixed-shank plows.
Built to Last: Lifetime Protection Included
Investing in quality means longevity. This stainless steel Delta comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage, reflecting confidence in its hot-forged construction. No more worrying about manufacturing defects—just reliable anchoring year after year.
