The 3 Piece Luke Storm Anchor is based on the fisherman style anchor. Ours is different because it fully disassembles and can be stored in an out of the way location such as the bilge. It works extraordinarily well on rocky or coral bottoms, and bottoms thick with kelp and other marine growth.
We manufacture our anchors from US ductile iron which we have galvanized, making them both rugged and rust resistant.
The traditional recommendation is two pounds per foot of waterline. Our best advice is to choose a size you can and will use. If deploying and retrieving the anchor under adverse conditions intimidates you, buy a size you can manage. Strategic use of a windlass can help wrangle an anchor into a dinghy for easier taking apart.
We suggest a boat keeps a few anchors for a variety of bottom conditions. Different designs are good for different bottoms. Ours tends to work well where others do not.
