Originally designed in 1933, Plow (plough) anchors have been proven all over the world
providing the best holding in the widest variety of weather and seabed conditions. The
plow's
versatility and holding power in most circumstances will out perform all other types of anchors if set
correctly. Manson began manufacturing the plow anchor in 1972 and the Manson
plow has now become
Australasia's anchor of choice - synonymous with safe anchoring. It's built tough to withstand the rigors of
the southern ocean, it's respected as the ideal all purpose anchor.
The Manson Plow is certified to Lloyds register of Shipping as a HHP (High Holding Power) anchor. This
process involves design approval of the anchor drawings, extreme scrutinising of the manufacturing
process and finally, seabed of the anchor in three different soil substrates.

The Manson Ray
Inspired by the Bruce Anchor originally designed in
1933 to anchor large oil rigs in the North Sea, the
Manson Ray anchors are fabricated not cast to enable
exact measurements and slight design modifications.
Fabrication also enables a consistent quality of
steel used in the manufacturing process.
The Manson Ray is certified to Lloyds register of
Shipping as an HHP (High Holding Power)
anchor. This
process involves design approval of the anchor
drawings, extreme scrutinising of the manufacturing
process and finally, seabed of the anchor in three
different soil substrates.
The Ray anchor is a quick set anchor. It's ideal for
use in sand, and mud. It usually sets in just the
length of the anchor itself.
The most notable of the Manson Ray anchors were the
world's largest Stainless Ray anchors (600kg &
400kg) placed on the world's largest sloop Mirabella
V.

The Manson Supreme
There has been a revolution in anchoring technology. The new premise is that shaping the anchor in a
concave design and utilizing as much surface area as
possible will provide a much higher holding power anchor. The
concept proved a winning one and derivations on the theme have subsequently formed.
This anchor was designed to be the highest holding - fastest
setting - fixed shank anchor in the world. A surprise bonus design feature was that the anchor was developed
with a dual operation shank to enable use in rock and coral seabed types.
The concave nature of the anchor is a relatively new
concept. Both concave and convex flukes have their
merits and there
has traditionally been hesitancy to use a concave
shape. This was initially due to their inability to
self right. The addition of the roll bar has
completely removed this drawback and now this shape
is an accepted anchor design.
The Manson Supreme has been reviewed by Lloyds Register of Shipping and has received a SHHP status. The
first and only production boat anchor in the world to do so.

NOTE: The Supreme is a Super High Holding Power
Anchor so a size smaller than the plow may be used
(e.g. a 30 lb plow may be replaced with a 25 lb
Supreme). (When considering larger anchor sizes, please check
the dimensions for compatibility with your bow rollers)
