55 lb Mantus M1 Anchor - Galvanized

The M1 Mantus Anchor is a multi-purpose, high-performance, next-generation boat anchor. Over the last decade, tests performed by Cruising World, Practical Sailor, Sail and PMY magazines proved that next-generation boat anchors outperform traditional designs.
Designed to set in challenging conditions like very hard sand or dense grassy bottoms, the M1 Mantus has been extensively tested against the competition and will provide you with the best performance, guaranteed.
No other boat anchor on the market can set as rapidly, reliably and securely. When deployed, the M1 easily self-rights and immeditely resets with wind or tide changes.
We encourage you to watch the test videos and conclude for yourself.*

Mantus is the simply best choice for your primary anchor.
In addition, since the Mantus breaks down for easy storage, there is no reason to compromise on your storm anchor choice.

Digs In Like No Other Anchor –
The M1 Mantus Anchor is designed to penetrate the bottom and then set with unparalleled holding power. When tested, Mantus anchors set faster and deeper than any other tested anchor, including Rocna, Manson Supreme, Bulwagga, Fortress, Bruce, CQR and Danforth anchors.
Expect the Mantus Anchor to set the first time, every time!

Easy to Stow –
Whether you are long range cruising, racing, or going out for a day sail, you can take advantage of the fact that the M2 Mantus can quickly and easily be broken down into flat components for easy storage, so you can stow one or two as spares without taking up valuable space.
