The Danforth anchor is renowned for its timeless design, featuring flat triangular legs arranged side by side, an elongated rod at the bottom, and a sleek streamlined head. This design is particularly well-suited for anchoring on surfaces composed of silt, sand, or fine gravel. Its key features include the ability to burrow effectively into the ground, ensuring a secure attachment. It reaches a stable base at a depth approximately 3-4 times greater than its arm length. Additionally, it boasts an impressive holding force, capable of supporting up to 50 kilograms for every kilogram of anchor weight.
