Thanks to its concave shovel, the Spade anchor has a shape that resists the seabed by compacting it in the middle, which boosts its holding power once it has dug in. ‘Plough’ anchors do the opposite, pushing the seafloor outwards with decreasing surface resistance.
Spade anchor comes in 3 materials and 30 sizes
Spade anchor comes in 3 materials (steel, stainless steel and aluminium) to meet all of the boating market’s needs. It is produced in 30 different sizes to suit all boats: sailing boats, catamarans, trimarans, yachts, super yachts, outboards, rigid inflatables and more. Steel and stainless steel anchors are intended for the primary anchorage while aluminium anchors are recommended for secondary and emergency anchorages. For multihulls, you must opt for one size above the anchor size recommended for the equivalent weight and size of a monohull boat. Regardless of the material used, our anchors all deliver greater effectiveness and performance.

« A » aluminium Spade anchor
Aluminium Spade boat anchors are intended for secondary and emergency anchorages. Aluminium is a much lighter, more flexible material than galvanised or stainless steel, meaning it is also weaker. That is why aluminium anchors are ‘secondary’ ones. They are designed for use in emergency situations on a boat, when you need to cut the primary anchor rode, or when you want to prevent a boat on its primary anchor riding at anchor. Our aluminium Spade anchor comes in 6 different sizes to suit most types of boats on the market.
Our aluminium models range from:
- the A40 weighing 2.5 kg for boats under 6.50 m and 1 T
- to the A200 weighing 26 kg for boats under 25 m and 30 T
