ANCHOR BUDDY ANCHOR WEIGHT - 15KG  

We used our anchor buddy weight regularly when cruising Around Victorian and Tasmanian waters as a supplement to our regular anchor. Added extra safety especially when the wind and waves were up.
An advanced technique in anchoring, the ANCHOR BUDDY(TM) Anchor Weight is an updated and modernised variation of a system successfully used for several hundred years (they're called Anchor Angels or Kellets in Europe).
It's been designed to be easy to attach and retrieve in an emergency situation (a one-handed operation taking 30 - 60 seconds) without having to use any tools. It rides easily on its own pulley system, without chafing the anchor warp.
The ANCHOR BUDDY(TM) Anchor Weight reduces the load on your anchor by up to 50%, while almost doubling its holding power. By ensuring the angle of pull on the anchor is horizontal, the Anchor Buddy helps the anchor to dig in and prevents it from dragging. It also acts as a spring, reducing your boat's overall motion while anchored, especially yawing and snubbing. It reduces your swinging circle and keeps the warp almost vertical off the bow.
