Manson Anchors Racer Anchor 9lb. . The Manson Racer is the first anchor on the market specifically tailored for racing yachts of all sizes. This anchor is made from high-tensile aluminium and has been fully welded and anodized ready for use. The Racer is an effective anchor with great weight saving potential. When bringing this anchor onto deck you can rest assured that it will be easier to handle when deploying because of its reduced weight. The Manson Racers hard-wearing stability balls are designed to reduce the width of the lower balance bar. The balls are designed to encourage the anchor to set faster and resist rotation while embedded in the sea floor. Having a shorter bar means the anchor is easier to stow in lockers or anchor wells. The balls serve a secondary purpose to help avoid damage to your vessel by the often sharp ends and edges of the bar. The black balls are made from a hard-wearing and heat-resistance plastic.
