Danforth Anchors

Danforth anchors are a type of boat anchoring device known for their lightweight design and strong holding power, especially in sandy or muddy seabeds. They feature two wide, flat flukes (arms) that dig into the bottom when tension is applied, providing excellent grip. Their design allows for easy deployment and retrieval, making them popular for small to medium-sized boats. The balance of lightweight construction and effective holding capacity makes Danforth anchors a reliable choice for temporary anchoring in calm, soft-bottom conditions.
