Based upon certain characteristics such as fluke area, shank, stabilizers, it is possible to classify the various anchor types. To allow a rough comparison of anchor type efficiency, an indication(*) is provided for a 10T anchor as (HOLDING CAPACITY = WEIGHT * EFFICIENCY)
- Class A: Efficiency Range *33 to 55
- Class B: Efficiency Range *17 to 25
- Class C: Efficiency Range *14 to 26
- Class D: Efficiency Range *8 to 15
- Class E: Efficiency Range *8 to 11
- Class F: Efficiency Range *4 to 6
