XYZ Boat Anchor has been declared the winner of Practical Sailor and Powerboat Magazines anchor tests of April 2006: “light weight and superior performance in the soft mud bottom earned the XYZ anchor a top pick”.

Practical Sailor stated that, “The only anchor that performed at that level was XYZ. We awarded it a top pick based on its performance”, and XYZ Boat Anchor earned this review due to the impeccable and highest standard performance it reached during tests.

XYZ Boat Anchor proved it will not break out, even when overpowered. Competitors were Delta, Bruce, Spade, Bulwagga, CQR and all other best marine anchors in the world.

“Excellent” and “set hard and buried immediately” describes XYZ, in an article you can read here.

In tests conducted by the American Bureau of Shipping in a sand bottom with a five to one scope. The pull was stopped at 3,000 pounds for fear of breaking the shackle. They continued with test, with a larger shackle and 3-strand, twisted 5/8″ nylon rope. Although the rope had an 11,000 lb breaking strength, it broke! The anchor was retrieved undamaged.

In soft mud the XYZ set and held at 400 pounds in the ABS test. This is equivalent to the holding of the Delta anchor, which is 3x heavier than the XYZ. XYZ relies on its artificial intelligence and fluid dynamic design to wedge itself deeper and stay upright. Shackle, cable wire and chain not included.
