Anchor: A premium 50# stainless steel Lewmar / DELTA plow anchor mounted beautifully on the bow delivers exceptional, aggressive holding power across diverse bottom types.
Chain: High-tensile 3/8" galvanized steel chain adds heavy, ground-seeking weight to lower the anchor's pull angle, preventing the yacht from dragging during strong tidal shifts.
