Olympic Anchors are engineered to ensure maximum anchoring performance in compact dimensions. Their shape and size have been designed with a greater concentration of lead at the front of the fluke. This forward weight distribution moves the center of gravity toward the tip, significantly enhancing penetration efficiency in a wide range of seabed conditions.
Technological Optimization
These marine anchors are manufactured through a process of sheet metal forming and subsequent welding. This production technique provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring optimized weight distribution. The hollow spaces created during the process trap air, producing a slight floating effect that aids in proper alignment on the seabed.
Thanks to their compact shank design, Olympic Anchors are compatible with most bow rollers on the market. Available in both polished and satin finishes, they meet the aesthetic and functional demands of modern superyacht equipment.
Technical Highlights
- Material: Olympic Anchors are constructed using premium AISI 316L stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance in marine environments.
- Reinforcing Sheet: A unique reinforcement between the fluke and body increases the shank’s resistance to extreme pulling forces, while also serving as an attachment point for a buoy rope used for anchor recovery.
- Stabilizing Flaps: These elements ensure the anchor maintains a perpendicular orientation during seabed penetration, boosting overall holding performance.
- Tip Geometry: The anchor tip features dual curved surfaces to facilitate smooth material displacement during impact with the seabed.
Made in Italy: Engineering Excellence and Sustainable Production
The new Olympic Anchors are entirely Made in Italy, resulting from in-house product engineering and a fully controlled production process. All suppliers are Italian, many located close to the manufacturing site. This proximity reduces supply chain impact and supports a sustainable, efficient production model.
A lean manufacturing logic helps minimize waste and optimize value creation for the customer, while also improving the responsiveness of both upstream and downstream supply networks.
Certified Super High Holding Power (SHHP)
The Olympic Anchors line has been officially classified as SHHP (Super High Holding Power) by RINA. This prestigious certification confirms an anchoring capacity at least twice that of a standard HHP anchor.
Thanks to this high holding power, vessels can install lighter anchors without compromising safety. Reducing onboard weight contributes to improved performance and fuel efficiency—an important benefit for both cruising yachts and professional vessels.
