Lewmar Slip Ring & Traditional Anchors

Lewmar Slip Ring & Traditional Anchors: Proven Holding Power on Any Seabed

When it comes to anchoring confidence, few names carry as much weight on the water as Lewmar. With roots stretching back to 1946, the brand has spent decades perfecting anchor geometry, materials, and construction to give boaters genuine peace of mind — whether they're overnight in a quiet cove or riding out a squall on an open roadstead. Their presence in the Slip Ring & Traditional Anchors category reflects that long heritage of purpose-built, field-proven design.

A Range Built Around Real-World Anchoring Demands

Lewmar's anchor range includes the legendary Delta® Anchor, a Lloyd's Registered, self-launching anchor with a unique geometry and construction. The Delta® design is the cornerstone of the lineup: self-launching and balanced to fall unaided from bow rollers — ideal for use with remote-operated windlasses — with heavy ballast in the toe section to ensure it engages the seabed upon hitting bottom. The flagship stainless steel Delta® anchors are manufactured from 316/2205 duplex stainless steel, which provides superior corrosion resistance and higher strength than standard stainless steels such as 304 or 316.

For boaters seeking a more accessible stainless option, Lewmar offers the DTX. The DTX Stainless Steel Anchor delivers trusted Delta®-style performance in a more aesthetic stainless-steel design, with a lead-ballasted tip for fast, reliable setting and Lloyd's OHP certification — offering strong holding power, excellent corrosion resistance, and a 3-year guarantee against breakage. Every DTX anchor is independently certified to Lloyd's Register Ordinary Holding Power (OHP) standard, ensuring full compliance with internationally recognised performance criteria.

The traditional Claw anchor rounds out the slip ring and traditional category. The Lewmar Claw anchor is popular among boating enthusiasts for its ease of setting, reliable hold across various seabeds, and convenient stowage — constructed from high-grade steel and inspired by those used to secure North Sea oil rigs. The Horizon Fluke anchor, such as the HKG-S8, targets smaller vessels needing a lightweight, effective traditional-style anchor for day cruising and overnight use.

Why Lewmar Stands Apart in Traditional Anchoring

Lewmar offers a range of anchors to suit different boats and seabeds, from classic claw anchors to innovative fluke-style designs, available in both galvanized and stainless steel for durable and dependable performance. Delta® stainless models are guaranteed for life against breakage — a testament to the engineering confidence behind each design. Every one of Lewmar's anchors is manufactured to the highest standards and to a design perfected over many decades of research.
