Picture this: you're out on the water, the wind picking up, and you need an anchor that digs in fast and holds steady no matter the seabed. The Lewmar Claw anchor draws its rugged design straight from the heavy-duty anchors that secure massive oil rigs in the brutal North Sea conditions. Crafted from premium high-grade steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this compact powerhouse weighs just 4.4 pounds yet delivers exceptional holding power for boats up to 23 feet. Its unique claw shape penetrates effortlessly into sand, mud, clay, or even rocky bottoms where traditional anchors might skip or drag.
What sets it apart is its self-righting geometry—no need for perfect alignment when dropping. It rolls and sets on contact, providing peace of mind during unexpected squalls or overnight anchoring. Plus, its low-profile design slides neatly onto most bow rollers, saving deck space and making retrieval a breeze.
To get the most out of this anchor, pair it with at least 10 feet of chain and 5-7 times your water depth in rode. Drop it with a gentle backward drift for best penetration—think 1-2 knots. In softer mud, add a bit more scope to let it bury deeper. For rocky areas, its non-penetrating claw hugs irregularities for a secure hook.
Regular rinse-downs with fresh water keep the galvanizing intact, and a quick visual check for bends or wear ensures it's ready for the next adventure. Backed by a solid limited warranty, it's a low-maintenance choice for serious skippers.
Unlike lightweight flukes that excel only in sand or mushroom styles for mud, the Claw's universal grip makes it a go-to for variable conditions. It's not the deepest setter like modern roll-bar designs, but its simplicity and reset ability make it unbeatable for backup or primary use on smaller craft. Boaters often carry it as a "storm anchor" for its proven track record in gales.
This 4.4-pound model provides reliable holding for boats up to 23 feet in length, making it ideal for small sailboats, powerboats, or dinghies in moderate conditions.
Yes, its claw design performs well in sand, mud, clay, gravel, and rocky bottoms. It's especially effective where other anchors struggle with weeds or hardpack.
Absolutely. Its compact dimensions (9-7/16 inches wide, 7-3/16 inches high) allow it to stow neatly on most standard bow rollers without modifications.
Constructed from high-grade steel with a hot-dip galvanized coating for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
Rinse with fresh water after each use to remove salt. Inspect for wear or damage periodically, and store in a dry area. Avoid dropping on concrete to preserve the galvanizing.
No, it ships without chain or shackle, allowing you to match it to your existing rode setup for optimal performance.
Claw anchors reset faster in wind shifts and hold better on uneven or weedy bottoms, while being lighter and more compact for smaller boats.
Designed based on anchors used to secure oil rigs in the North Sea. The Claw anchor is constructed of high-grade steel. The Claw anchor sets effortlessly and holds in a variety of sea beds and stows easily on the bow roller of most boats.
