The ultimate solution to your vessel's anchoring needs. A Rocna always attains its correct setting attitude for quick penetration, regardless of how it hits the bottom. It digs straight in, offers superior holding-power, and will not easily trip out on load reversal. This represents the best in safety, security, and dependability.
Rocna anchors are raising the bar of boat-owners' expectations of anchor performance. Recent independent tests by publications such as Cruising World, Practical Sailor, and SAIL show that new-generation type anchors consistently outperform more traditional designs. Picks, claws, and plows are a thing of the past, and we are proud to present the most refined and effective – yet affordable – new-generation design: Rocna.
Through careful design, the Rocna does not waste energy with extra lead or cast iron weights, meaning weight is more efficiently used in structural strength and extra blade area (holding power). On a comparable weight for weight basis, this means greater security for cruisers, or a lighter anchor for weight sensitive craft.
On any vessel, one of a skipper's first priorities is his or her anchoring gear. A Rocna means more enjoyable and safer boating, a less anxious crew, and a good night's sleep. Your Rocna is the bottom line.

Rocna Anchors: key features
Ultra-high holding power
Testing demonstrates that a Rocna possesses stopping power vastly superior to equivalent weight plow or claw types in soft sand or mud, due to the large blade area coupled with the blade's concave shape, which offers the greatest resistance of any form
Instant setting
A Rocna always attains the correct attitude for penetration, and with its combination of chisel tip, roll-bar, and skids, is rapidly buried on most seabeds – typically within one meter (three feet)
Large blade area and chisel blade tip
On a boat weight matters, and in a Rocna anchor every gram of metal is put to use. A large concave surface blade area offers superior holding power, and the chisel-like blade tip easily penetrates weed, grass, and kelp
Roll-stable
A Rocna is not susceptible to sudden "trip out". Owing to its optimized geometry, it remains embedded, and does not roll out on load-reversal or if dragged under extreme load
Ease of use
A Rocna self-launches and locks home on most bow rollers. A tight curve radius between the shank and blade give a positive lock, preventing movement at sea. The slotted shackle attachment point allows single-shackle fixing, and special holes are positioned for a buoyed retrieval line and tandem anchor, if required
Roll-bar. A Rocna’s roll-bar ensures that the anchor will turn itself to the correct attitude for setting, every time. The skid-rails then direct the blade into the seabed. This also eliminates the need for dedicated tip-weight (an inefficiency common in other designs)
Versatility
There is a Rocna to suit your boat, whether she's a small runabout or a vessel displacing 50 tons. Larger sizes can be custom designed for your vessel (please enquire)
Appeal
A Rocna has a distinctive and smart look that complements and enhances any craft
Rugged strength
The heavy-duty construction of a Rocna is attained through clever design and the use of Australian Bisalloy BISPLATE 80 (Canadian QT100 for anchors produced in Vancouver) steel. A Rocna is rock solid with no moving parts, eliminating complex adjustment systems and potentially dangerous failure points
Durable
A hot dip galvanized finish covers the entire surface of every Rocna with protective zinc, including the interior of the hollow rollbar
