KINGSTON ANCHORS Y-199
Anchor - Yachtsman - 199 lbs. - Galvanized Steel
The yachtsman anchor developed by the genius Nathaniel G. Herreshoff is significantly better than other anchors of this type. He increased the fluke area for greater holding power, and cast the palms in a diamond pattern to reduce the likelihood of fouling the rode on the fluke.
The yachtsman anchor is more dependent on weight for holding power than the plow or lightweight and, once it is set, it will hold tenaciously. This has earned it an excellent reputation as a storm anchor. It is a good anchor where others have difficulties, in rocks and heavy weeds, and is less sensitive to low scope. This is a great advantage in tight anchorages.
The KINGSTON YACHTSMAN is a faithful reproduction of this fine anchor. It separates into three pieces for easy stowage, permitting a heavy storm anchor to be carried on board.This item requires special shipping.
