This anchor is made from high tensile aluminium and has been fully welded and anodized ready for use. The Racer is an effective anchor with great weight saving potential. When bringing this anchor onto deck you can rest assured that it will be easier to handle when deploying because of its reduced weight.

The Manson Racers' hard wearing stability balls are designed to reduce the width of the lower balance bar. The balls are designed to encourage the anchor to set faster and resist rotation whilst embedded in the sea floor. Having a shorter bar means the anchor is easier to stow in lockers or anchor wells. The balls serve a secondary purpose to help avoid damage to your vessel by the often sharp ends and edges of the bar. The black balls are made from a hardwearing and heat resistance plastic.

Also great for use as a stern anchor or kedge.

Optional stow bag available. The Racer bag is padded, polyester lined and available in two sizes. It has two interior pockets, one for the anchor, one for the chain and rope.

Manson Racer recommended sizing specifications

Anchor sizing should be interpreted as a guide only. Many factors influence anchor size selection ie, whether the boat is a heavy displacement or a light displacement craft and how much windage the vessel has. The chain size, weight and length is critical to anchor performance and if in doubt use larger chain. Finally the vessel usage should also be factored in ie whether the anchor will only be used as a "lunch pick" in fair weather for day outings or indeed whether the vessel will be going on extended coastal or offshore cruising. If in any doubt about anchor selection always use a bigger anchor, in bad weather or motoring failure, it is the only thing you can rely on to save the lives of you and your crew.
