The Wing Boat Anchor (modeled after the original Delta) is one of the most popular styles of anchor chosen by boat manufacturers today as standard equipment. The solid, one piece design, results in superior holding power than other similar plow anchors like the CQR and sets easily in most bottoms including mud, sand, rock, and more.
Being one the most common standard equipped anchor on boats today, it fits many bow rollers and pulpits (always confirm against manufacturer’s dimensions and specifications). It self launches, making it ideal for use with windlasses. Each anchor also includes a convenient trip line point at the back of the anchor.
Having a high holding power to weight ratio, boaters often need a lighter Wing/Delta anchor than may be necessary in other styles of anchors. For example, for most 25’ boats, a 13 lbs Delta/Wing anchor will be an adequate anchor choice.
