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
