Anchor holder & rollers

Stay secure – even in a strong current

Anchor holders & rollers are the basis for safe anchoring in a bay. Weight, boat length, and cruising area determine which system suits you.

Many sailors use a combination of chain and rope to balance hold and handling. The right bow roller, the correct chain division, and a stable attachment are also important.

With the right anchor gear, your boat will lie more calmly – even in wind and waves.

Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

How do I find out which bow roller fits my anchor chain?
The chain pitch is crucial: it refers to the distance between the chain links and is given in millimeters. If your chain, for example, says 8 mm, you need a bow roller that is explicitly approved for this chain size. If in doubt, measure the chain with calipers.
Can I use an anchor holder for any anchor type?
No. Plow, Delta, and folding anchors differ significantly in head width and design. Before buying, check whether the holder mentions your anchor type in the product description or whether a suitable dimension sheet is available.
Do I need to reinforce the deck when installing a bow roller?
That depends on the thickness of your deck and the load you expect. For thin laminate, you should use a sufficiently large backing plate made of stainless steel or plywood on the inside so that the load is distributed and the laminate is not dented.
How do I properly maintain anchor holders and rollers?
After each anchoring trip, rinse briefly with fresh water, especially the roller axles. Once per season, grease the axles and check for cracks or corrosion. If a roller jams, clean it immediately and do not stress it further – a blocked roller chafes the chain and will suddenly give way at some point.
