The Lewmar Delta Anchor in stainless steel is a 22 lb high-holding-power plow built for boats in the 27 to 40 foot range, including cruising sailboats, center console fishing boats, and trawlers that anchor in mixed seabed conditions. It carries Lloyd's Register General Approval as a High Holding Power anchor and is specified as the primary anchor used by numerous National Lifeboat organizations. The self-launching design lets it deploy off a bow roller without hand-tending, and the ballasted tip drives the fluke into the bottom on contact. For boaters who want dependable holding without babysitting the rode, this is a proven plow. See our full range of marine anchors for other sizes and styles.
This Delta is forged from duplex stainless steel, a 316/2205 high-grade alloy chosen for both corrosion resistance and structural strength in saltwater. The unique shank profile and low center of gravity give the anchor self-righting geometry, so it lands in the correct attitude and sets without dragging. Lewmar rates it for an 8 mm (5/16 in) chain size. Overall dimensions run 695 mm (27 3/8 in) long with a fluke width of 308 mm (12 1/8 in), a shank thickness of 12 mm (1/2 in), and a depth of 526 mm (20 5/8 in). Lewmar backs the casting with a lifetime guarantee against breakage, which excludes damage caused by deformation or bending. Pair it with appropriately sized rope and chain to complete the rode.
On the water, the Delta earns its keep where you need a fast, confident set in sand, mud, or weed. Drop it, pay out scope, and the ballasted tip plus self-righting shape pull the fluke down rather than skating across the bottom. The stainless finish holds up to spray and submersion while keeping a clean look on a stainless bow roller. For weekend anchorages and overnight holding alike, this 22 lb size matches mid-size cruisers and fishing boats well. Round out your setup with the right windlass and deck cleats from our anchoring and docking lineup.
Lewmar specifies this 22 lb (10 kg) Delta for boats in the 27 to 40 foot range. That covers many mid-size cruising sailboats, center console fishing boats, and trawlers. Final holding depends on seabed type, scope, and conditions, but the 22 lb size matches the published recommendation for vessels in that length class.
Lewmar recommends an 8 mm (5/16 in) chain size for this Delta. Matching the chain to the anchor and your bow roller keeps the rode feeding smoothly and helps the anchor lie correctly on the bottom. We carry rope and chain in our anchoring and docking section to complete the setup.
This Delta is built from 316/2205 duplex stainless steel, which resists saltwater corrosion and keeps a clean appearance on a stainless bow roller. Galvanized versions cost less but eventually shed their zinc coating and need re-galvanizing. Stainless is the choice when long-term corrosion resistance and finish matter.
Yes. The Delta uses a self-launching design with a unique shank profile, so it deploys off a bow roller without hand-tending. Its low center of gravity and self-righting geometry land it in the correct attitude, and the ballasted tip sets the fluke on contact rather than dragging across the bottom.
Lewmar backs the Delta with a lifetime guarantee against breakage. The guarantee covers casting failures but excludes damage caused by deformation or bending, which can result from overloading or improper use. Per manufacturer specifications, this applies to the anchor's structural integrity.
