Kiwi Anchor Rider
Do you worry about your anchor dragging?
Feel safe when it blows - use a Kiwi Anchor Rider anchor weight
When it is blowing a gale and you need to increase anchor holding, you may already consider setting two anchors, attaching and lowering your dive belt or any other heavy object, so why not use a Kiwi Anchor Rider anchor weight? It is exactly the same principle.
A purpose-designed, simple to use, easy to stow product that can be set, without tools in LESS THAN A MINUTE! In fact, it is so effective and easy to use some boat owners use it every time they anchor. It
* doubles the holding power of the anchor and reduces its working load by up to 50%
* increases anchor holding by changing the angle of pull on the anchor to help it dig in
* reduces swing or yaw of a vessel by up to 50%
* dampens all excessive boat movement in wind gusts or a 'jobbly' anchorage to make life on board far more comfortable
How the Kiwi Anchor Rider works
The Kiwi Anchor Rider is a concentrated, heavy weight that is simply twisted on after you have anchored securely, to change the angle of pull on the anchor, to help it dig in.
It almost DOUBLES the holding power and reduces the anchor's working load by 50%. The forces on the boat have to overcome and lift the weight, before exerting any pressure on the anchor.
It is much more effective than letting out even more rope or chain when it blows.
"When scuba diving in foul ground we let a generous amount of chain out, deploy our Kiwi Anchor Rider and dive down the anchor chain to check the holding power. Our observation in a variety of sea conditions is we have observed NO WEIGHT AT ALL PULLING ON OUR DELTA ANCHOR. With the motion of the boat having to contend with the anchor weight and chain, we have never witnessed our Delta anchor working"
