Anchors have 2 jobs - Hold and Release.

Unfortunately, most focus on holding, which is obviously the most important, but the release can be a total mystery?? What happens when they get stuck fast?

The first Boomer Anchor was born in a farm shed

I wanted to take the guesswork out of anchoring - If it got caught up, just pull it harder with the power of the boat and make it release. Importantly - that force had to be safe, measurable and repeatable. I didn't want the anchor to release prematurely if the swell or run picked up. The concept was very simple. It made a lot of sense, but would it work?

I was skeptical at first, but "WOW" - it worked better than expected! Anchoring up is virtually stress-free, now.

I haven't lost an anchor since that day

The anchor holds extremely well in all surfaces. It is collapsIble. It holds its shape by inserting a sacrificial shear pin.The size of this pin can be changed to suit your circumstances and the size of your boat.

The sacrificial pins are a safety device that break under "overload" to protect your expensive equipment and boat. It performs very much like a circuit breaker.

If the anchor gets stuck, simply drive forward in the direction you first anchored, add motor pressure to "overload" the pin and retrieve the anchor when it collapses.

There are 3 shear pins in the breakaway range.

(Light -60 kgs for smaller boats from 3 metres),

(Medium - 100 kgs - up to 6.5 metres), and

(Strong - up to 200 kgs for larger boats up to 9 metres).

Plus, there are (Heavy Duty Stainless Steel pins - 200 - 300kgs) supplied for even more hold. There is also an (Emergency Non-Release pin) which turns the anchor into a solid, non-collapsible grapnel anchor.

If your boat is between 3 and 9 metres, the Boomer Anchor is the perfect all purpose anchor for you.
