Secure your vessel with confidence using the PLASTIMO Folding Grapnel with Straight Flukes 1.5 Anchor, a masterclass in compact design and reliable performance. Engineered by PLASTIMO, a trusted name in marine safety and equipment, this anchor is the ultimate solution for small boat owners who demand both efficiency and space-saving ingenuity. It is an essential piece of equipment for anyone navigating in a dinghy, tender, kayak, personal watercraft (PWC), or any small vessel where storage space is at a premium.

The primary benefit of this grapnel anchor lies in its intelligent folding mechanism. The four straight flukes collapse neatly against the shank, transforming the anchor into a compact, easily storable cylinder. This eliminates the hassle of bulky, awkward anchors that clutter your deck or fill up valuable locker space. When it´s time to anchor, it unfolds quickly and locks securely into position, ready for deployment.

Designed for specific seabed conditions, the PLASTIMO grapnel excels where other anchors may struggle. Its four-pronged design is perfect for grabbing and holding firm in rocky bottoms, coral reefs, or areas with heavy seaweed and vegetation. This makes it an outstanding choice as a primary anchor for small craft in appropriate conditions, or as a highly effective secondary "lunch hook" or emergency anchor for larger boats. You can drop anchor for a short stop with the assurance of a solid hold.

Durability is paramount in the harsh marine environment, and this anchor is built to last. The entire unit is protected by a high-quality hot-dip galvanization process. This thick coating of zinc provides superior protection against saltwater corrosion and abrasion, ensuring a long service life and maintaining its structural integrity season after season.
