The Mantus M1 Galvanised Steel Anchor is designed to dig like no other and will penetrate dense, grassy bottoms and set with unparalleled holding power. When tested, our anchors set faster and deeper than any other tested anchor, including Rocna, Manson Supreme, Bulwagga, Fortress, Bruce, CQR and Danforth anchors. Watch the test video here
Mantus M1 anchors set perfectly every time, the roll bar delivers the anchor at the optimum penetration angle and the sharp-headed nose is precision machined to achieve the ideal chisel shape to achieve maximum penetrating power.
The anchors fluke design is shaped to present the maximum area possible to the sea floor and then provide optimum resistance enabling the highest holding power possible whether on a soft seabed, or on hard or weedy sea floors. The M1 will remain stable and buried once in position and will not ‘roll out’ if reversed or veered.
Manufactured and formed from high-quality steel plate with no cast parts, the shank and shank boot are welded from top and bottom and are securely bolted with the roll bar to the fluke with oversized ASTM certified steel bolts with a large margin to ensure safety. 4 bolts are used with a single bolt sufficient to handle the maximum expected load on the anchor.

M1 Anchor Sizing
When making sizing recommendations for a cruising anchor we are referring to the needs of a cruising boat spending most of its time on anchor. In doing so we try to envelope high sustained winds (50 kts) and assume poor holding conditions (low viscosity bottoms). Some may think these recommendations to be too conservative especially when compared to sizing tables from other manufacturers. Companies often make claims of superior anchor efficiency, stating that their small anchor X will outperform a much heavier anchor from their competitors and often use sizing charts as a marketing tool to that end, recommending anchors and anchor systems that are dangerously undersized for their intended use. Comparing surface area can be a good judge for potential holding capability. Our anchor sizing recommendations are presented in the tables below and divided in three categories: ‘Day Anchor’ category is recommended for lighter use, expected winds under 30 knots, ‘Cruising Anchor’ for winds under 50 knots and finally, ‘Storm Anchor’ recommendations are intended for winds above 50 knots. These recommendations are made assuming the worst-case scenario, a poor holding bottom and thus may seem conservative, but we believe are accurate.
