Welcome to the Caley Marina Anchor Buddy site The essential boat safety accessory, a peace of mind purchase.If you worry whether the anchor is holding when the wind gets up and you are out cruising... use this proven anchoring system to almost double the holding power and feel secure when it blows. Tests done by the Royal Navy on what causes anchors to drag, show that . . . "if the shank of the anchor is risen 10 degrees off the sea bed, the anchor's maximum holding power is down to 60%. At 15 degrees it is further reduced to only 40% of its maximum holding power"
(sourced from the Admiralty Manual of Seamanship Vol.2)Get the most out of your anchor! An Anchor Buddy anchor weight holds the chain and the shank of the anchor on the seabed. It changes the angle of pull on the anchor, making it horizontal, which helps it dig in, rather than vertical, which raises the shank and is one of the reasons an anchor drags.   Almost double the holding power of your anchor in less than a minute! Tame your boat at anchor and feel safe when it blows!
