Fortress aluminum anchors are the best lightweight anchors for most conditions. Fortress anchors offer excellent holding in sand and mud, and disassemble for storage. Cruising boaters should keep an over-sized Fortress anchor on board for storms or tricky holding situations. The Fortress FX-11 aluminum anchor is sized for small cruising vessels up to 32 feet.
