I wanted to let you know how much nicer it is to anchor with your anchor knowing you’re secure and there’s little chance of having an issue especially with 3 to 1 out and little wind or current. My boat is fifty years old this summer.
Nice and give the market what it wants, but I adore my Shinny Ultra Anchor, and receive many compliments about it. The mud of the Saint Johns river slides right off when recovering it unlike my old galvanized plow, and the Ultra Anchor sets the first time every time, and has held fast in some serious thunderstorms in both mud and sand.
We have a 2006 meridian 408 and had purchased your Ultra Anchor from you during the 2014 Annapolis boat show. I am pleased to report after one years use that this was one of the best additions to our boat so far. We have anchored out under not-so-good conditions and this anchor was like a magnet.
In 5,000 nM of cruising aboard our 40 foot sailboat from Houston to Grenada over the last 1 1/2 years, I’ve used my 60lb Ultra in all kinds of anchoring situations and bottom surfaces as well as 360 degree swings. I’ve been through many 40-50kts squalls at anchor. My Ultra has never ever dragged. I sleep very well knowing the Ultra has proven itself.
About 2 years ago I decided to purchase your Ultra anchor (21KG model) in hopes it would improve the holding. I figured if nothing less the new anchor would weigh 15lbs more and maybe, just maybe that would help. Well guess what? Your anchor holds every single time. It’s amazing - no matter how strong the wind or how weedy the lake bottom the anchor hooks up and won’t let go.
We love our shiny Ultra-60 lbs! In fact we just matched it with a SS chain and new gypsy. Instead of the castles created by the old galvanized chain, the new "jewelry" just melts into the chain locker, as my husband observed, "like when Scrooge McDuck was pouring coins into his vault".
Just want to let you know that the ULTRA Anchor (UA35-70) with the ULTRA Flip swivel (UFS10) and the Articulated ULTRA Bow Roller has performed exceptionally well during our cruise down from Maine to the Bahamas and back to our home port in Virginia this last winter season.
Your anchor is the best!! I bought a 35 lb,for my 38 ft sail boat and NEVER dragged in three yrs of cruising. Now I put it on a 41 ft power boat and still have not dragged ! Knowing now how well it works I would pay twice the price. Ps it stays clean and looks great.
We love our Ultra anchor. We have had it for 7 years and have anchored everywhere from Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Sitka Alaska and Mexico. It has NEVER failed, even in 50 knot winds.
Randy, I have been meaning to write you. About 6 months ago we replaced our great looking but terribly inefficient stainless anchor weighing 140 lbs with your Quickline Ultra Anchor. The results are absolutely astounding. We were committe boat (74 ft Hatteras) for the Castaways Cup race - two days in the ocean off Port St. Lucie, and the anchor held even in the 40 knot gust that came up.
God bless your hands, efforts and mind: You are making the world’s best anchor. Each time I anchor; I remember Atila Rezak, who helped during the design process of this anchor by trying it at his boat and all other friends contributing, with respect.
I can tell you by all my heart that ULTRAnchor is the only anchor which lets me sleep comfortably. This is the 3. anchor I bought from you and I placed the order even before I took delivery of my new boat like at the previous ones. I don’t go out of a marina without ULTRAnchor. I congratulate you once again for this very advanced engineering product.
A quick update on our 16kg Ultra anchor. We are with 9 other boats are headed to The Broughton Archipelago. Two nights ago we anchored with the others in a small bay inside Port Neville. A small bay with lots of boats meant a short scope 93 ft of chain in low 38 feet for us the last boat in.
The anchor has held always already at the first time, it was never necessary to try several times. and this on all grounds and with all winds up to 6 bft. with one exception: i had problems on very dense seagrass fields. the anchor came up with a huge amount of gras.
No matter where we anchor, we know we can sleep tight. In the Exumas, where the water is so clear, we love to show off by letting our guests actually see the anchor sink into the sand right in front of their eyes.
I bought a 130 pound Ultra anchor with swivel and harness snubber set up. I have been using the system for four years and can tell you that the anchor sets like a rock. Very solid and resets with changing tides and currents very quickly. I have scuba dived to check many times and without fail it is buried to the shank! A bit expensive but worth every nickel and looks great!
On our first day at anchor, even with heavy boat wake activity and tide changes, the Ultra never moved an inch. I also used your chain grabber system which worked perfectly and took all of the strain off of the windlass. At this point, I was pleased and knew I had purchased a superior product.
I had a chance to use the anchor in Greek islands under very strong winds but the ULTRA performed really well. As told, it buried itself deeper by the increased load and kept on holding us perfectly. It also carried another 45 feet boat under 30 knot winds.
We had the opportunity to test the new anchor yesterday. Fabulous! As promised, it set instantly and on held the first try. I watched the GPS like a hawk to see if we were moving. We weren't, and were sitting in about 10 knots of wind. It was also remarkably easy to "break" and because of its polished surface, it easily shed the nasty Chesapeake Bay mud that would cling like glue to the galvanized predecessor.
We achieved to stay stable by the ULTRAnchor we bought as per a friend recommendation at Gocek Hamam bay under very strong winds lasted for about 90 minutes, we didn’t even move for 1cm. This was our first very strong wind experiment and we succeeded, the boats around us went to open sea, we didn’t require. Thank you. You deserve each penny we paid you. We thank to everyone who played a role on the designing process of this anchor.
Anchoring is so important; it can make or break your time spent on the water. Quite apart from knowing how to anchor, secure holding in an anchorage often depends on the type of equipment selected. more >>
