SPADE Anchors

SPADE… the World’s most reliable anchor

When Alain Poiraud designed the first SPADE anchor in the mid 1990’s, little did he know that his new anchor was about to launch a new era in anchoring technology.

Originally designed to penetrate Mediterranean sea-grass, the SPADE anchor has now been proven in tests and experiences the world over and represents a giant leap forward in anchor design.

The “Dyson” of the anchor world, Alain, a retired engineer was turned away by anchor manufacturers when he tried to sell his patents to fund his cruising life, so he set up a factory in Tunisia himself and his anchor is now famous the world over.
