What is an umbrella anchor?

An umbrella anchor gets its name from its collapsible, umbrella-like shape. It is lightweight, compact to store and quick to use. Especially popular with fishermen and recreational users because of its user-friendliness. The arms of the anchor grip into sand, mud or even stony bottoms, making it effective in several places.

Frequently Asked Questions about Umbrella Anchors

Do I need to use a chain with an umbrella anchor?

Yes, always. Use a piece of chain between the anchor and the anchor line to ensure that the anchor is properly dragged and dug in. An alternative is a lead line – an anchor line with a weighted section – which fulfils the same function. It is best to use a D-shackle between the anchor and the line.

Does an umbrella anchor fit on every type of bottom?

Umbrella anchors work well on sand, mud and gravel. On hard rocky bottoms or with a lot of weed other anchors are often more effective.

Can I store the anchor easily?

Yes, the collapsible design makes it compact. Ideal for smaller boats where storage space is at a premium.
