Distant Shores TV Reviews Fortress FX-37

Distant Shores TV tested the Fortress FX-37 through a two-day storm that caused 30-knot winds. They had a main Rocna anchor Fortress anchor placed at the stern. Not only did their Fortress anchor hold in place, but it also set so deeply in the sand that sailors Paul and Sheryl Shard could not dig deep enough to find the anchor. They pulled it out using a winch after re-floating their boat.

Paul and Sheryl said, “The Fortress anchor is the favorite of ours since they’re very good in sand and mud plus they can be disassembled and stowed.” When testing how well the Fortress Anchor sets in softer sand, they utilized the adjustable flukes setting them at a steeper angle.

After placing the anchor in the sand, they increased their boat’s speed to 2500 RPM to achieve “a textbook perfect anchor set.”

Here is Paul and Sheryl’s overall verdict: “The Fortress makes a great second and third anchor. It’s great for use in sand and mud. Because it may be disassembled, you can carry a much larger one than would otherwise be practical.”

Thank you, Paul and Sheryl!
