Ankerplex Aluminum Anchor – 6.9 kg for Boats up to 36' – AP16AL

The Ankerplex Aluminum Anchor (AP16AL) is a high holding-power (HHP) marine anchor engineered to provide excellent securing performance for boats up to 36 feet (≈11 m) in length. Featuring an innovative design and lightweight marine-grade aluminum construction, this anchor delivers holding force far greater than traditional Hall or Navy style anchors of the same weight — often estimated at roughly three times the retention of conventional designs — making it suitable as either a primary anchor or a heavy-duty spare for cruising and coastal boats.

Ankerplex’s design concept emphasizes effective seabed penetration and secure holding across a range of bottom types, thanks to its flat yet robust plate assembly and roll-bar geometry that helps orient the anchor properly when set. The anchor assembles from flat precision-cut components using a simple shackle system, allowing it to be disassembled quickly for compact storage on board — a big advantage for vessels with limited locker space. 

Whether you’re anchoring in sand, mud, or mixed bottoms, the AP16AL can deliver trustworthy performance and confidence in holding your vessel in place. Always pair your anchor with correctly sized chain and rode and check local regulations or insurance requirements for minimum anchor sizes. 

Benefits

• Enhanced anchoring confidence compared to traditional anchors of the same weight. 

• Lighter weight makes deployment and retrieval easier without sacrificing holding power. 

• Space-saving storage due to disassemblable parts. 

• Corrosion resistance with aluminum long-term durability in saltwater environments. 

Recommended Applications

• Anchoring coastal and cruising boats up to 36 feet / ~11 m. 

• Use as a primary or secondary (backup) anchor. 

• Anchoring in a variety of seabeds (sand, mud, mixed bottoms).
