Fortress Guardian Anchor

Benefiting from years of Fortress anchor research development, the Guardian anchor offers excellent quality, performance and economy. The Guardian is made from the same high tensile, corrosion resistant aluminium magnesium alloy and manufacturing precision as Fortress.The use of slightly smaller extrusion profiles and the elimination of some of Fortess' extra features, such as anodising, adjustable fluke angles and several machining steps has resulted in a very affordable alternative to those heavy, rust-prone steel anchors. Arthur Beale says: This is a brilliant choice for budget cruisers who don't want to compromise their safety. Narrow Boat owners doing those occasional tidal hops will appreciate the anchors holding power if that engine does actually conk out when the fuel filter clogs up - as they seem to on the Thames! They will also appreciate being able to stow it away without it rusting up and will probably find it useful to haul the boat way from the bank in some mooring spots. Being a Guardian Anchor, this will surely also appeal to those left of centre boaters.
