Rocna: Changing the Status Quoย
Theย Rocnaย anchor was designed by New Zealand sailor Peter Smith, who has been designing, building, and sailing boats since the early 1960โs. Over 100,000 nautical miles of cruising, Peter experienced the same anchoring problems that are still prevalent today โ needing to carry a variety of anchors to suit variousย seabeds, yet still the anchors dragged and boaters felt insecure.ย
โYour anchor should provide you and your crew with reliability, security, and confidence,โ says Peter. A lifetime of nautical experience worldwide was poured into an anchor โ initially conceived for Peterโs own use โ which became theย Rocna.ย
An Independently Tested New Generation Designย
Peterโs solution consistently returns top results in objective and independent testing. Since its launch in 2004, theย Rocnaย has led worldwide anchor tests as published in the likes of SAIL, Yachting Monthly, Practical Boat Owner, Voile, and others. Because of theย Rocnaโsย reliable and convincing performance against its competition,ย Rocnaย is trusted to be rock solid in the real world. You donโt need to take our word for it.ย
For All Who Need Reliabilityย Fromย Performanceย
Rocnaย anchors are performing in some of the worldโs toughest locales, including Patagonia, Antarctica, Alaska, Greenland, Scotland โ as well as enduring temperamental tropical weather.ย Rocnaย has โbuy-inโ from respected boaters whose opinions matter, from Steve Dashew to Jimmy Cornell. Southern latitudes sailing pioneer Jรฉrรดmeย Poncetย reports: โIt took me years with many trials to achieve, in discovering theย Rocnaย anchor, foolproof holding powerโฆโย
Precision Settingย
Theย roll-bar (A)ย ensures that the anchor always arrives at the ideal angle for penetration, and theย setting skids (B)ย guide theย fluke tip (C)ย which acts as a sharp chisel cutting into the seabed. With a third of the anchorโs weight on its fluke tip, an instant reliable set is ensured with every use.ย
Rock Solid Holding Powerย
Of all anchor types, aย concave flukeย (D)ย gives the greatest resistance, and through clever designย Rocnaย provides the largest fluke area possible. In very softย seabeds, this provides the holding power to secure your boat. On hard or weedy sea floors,ย Rocnaโsย chisel tipย (C)ย ensures that it cuts through and bites deep.ย
Maximum Versatilityย
Theย Rocnaย is a true multi-purpose anchor that sets and holds in mostย seabeds, from soft mud to hard sand, clay, grass, and kelp.ย
Resistantย Toย Windย Andย Tide Shiftsย
Aย Rocnaย remains stable and buried, and does not roll out on reversal or veering of load, or if dragged beyond yield, providing enhanced security.ย
Highest Quality Buildย Andย Finishย
Compare the welds and finish on a genuineย Rocnaย anchor to alternatives. We believe a top performing product should be built like one, and we spend a lot of time and resources on production and quality control procedures to ensure that this is the case.ย
High Tensile Steel Shank (E)ย
Rocnaย anchors are designed โ and built โ for strength and durability.ย
Self-Deployingย Andย Self-Recoveringย
Theย Rocnaย shank is designed so the anchor self-launches and self-stows on the majority of bow-rollers, with the greatest possible reliability.ย
Guaranteedย Forย Lifeย
Eachย Rocnaย anchor comes with a Lifetime Warranty against both breakage and bending in addition to manufacturing defects.ย
Competitively Pricedย Withย Wide Product Rangeย
Rocnaย anchors are available in 14 sizes from 4ย kgย (9ย lb)ย โย 275ย kgย (606ย lb) to suit all vessels from small boats to small ships. Larger sizes available on request. Galvanized andย stainless steelย options are available in all sizes.ย
