Lewmar Delta® Anchor - Stainless Steel - 22lb

The Lewmar Delta® Anchor - Stainless Steel - 22lb is purpose-built for cruising sailboats, center console fishing vessels, and trawlers operating in mixed bottom conditions. After decades on the water, any experienced captain knows that anchor selection directly impacts sleep quality at night and peace of mind in shifting weather. The Delta design represents a proven holding pattern trusted by commercial and recreational boaters worldwide, delivering reliable bottom bite whether you're setting in sand, mud, or sparse grass.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, this 22-pound anchor resists corrosion in saltwater and brackish environments without the maintenance burden of galvanized steel. The Delta's signature spade-like fluke design digs progressively deeper as load increases, creating mechanical lock rather than relying on sheer weight alone. At 22 pounds, this weight class suits vessels in the 28–38-foot range, delivering adequate holding power for typical anchoring scenarios while remaining manageable for manual deployment and retrieval. The compact dimensions (13 × 12 × 30 inches) allow deck stowage without consuming excessive space—critical for fishing boats where every square foot counts.

Boaters working mixed-bottom anchorages—particularly those transitioning between sand bars, mud flats, and shell beds—benefit most from the Delta's versatility. The stainless construction eliminates rust staining on white hulls and deck hardware, reducing maintenance between seasons. This anchor integrates seamlessly with standard chain rode, shackles, and windlass systems found on mid-range cruising boats and coastal fishing platforms. Verify your vessel's anchor locker dimensions and rode capacity before purchase to ensure compatibility with your existing ground-tackle system.
