Lewmar Claw Anchor 998 g for 4 m–6.1 m Boats — Galvanized Bruce-Style, Quick-Setting, Bow Roller Compatible

Lewmar's 2.2 lb galvanized claw anchor is a compact, Bruce-style anchor engineered for quick setting and reliable holding for 13'–20' boats.

If you need a small-but-robust anchor for day sailing, dinghies or small cruisers, this Lewmar claw anchor combines a one-piece high-tensile steel build with a protective galvanized finish. Designed from technology used on large offshore anchors, it aims to give dependable performance across mixed seabeds while fitting into common bow rollers for tidy storage.

How does this anchor perform when you need it to set quickly?

The Lewmar claw uses a Bruce-style geometry that favors rapid orientation and penetration in many bottom types. It is particularly effective for short scope drops where fast holding is important.

• Bruce-style claw shape promotes immediate bite in sand, gravel, weed and some mud.
• One-piece, heat-treated high-tensile steel concentrates strength where needed.
• Resets readily if the boat changes direction in wind or tide.

Will this anchor resist corrosion in a marine environment?

The anchor's steel is heat-treated for strength, then coated with a galvanized finish to slow rust and extend service life in saltwater. Routine rinsing and inspection will further preserve the coating and hardware.

• Hot-dip galvanized layer provides a barrier against salt and spray.
• High-tensile steel core maintains structural integrity under load.
• Simple maintenance — freshwater rinse and periodic checks prevent accelerated wear.

Is the 2.2 lb size appropriate for my boat and bow roller?

This 2.2 lb model is sized for small vessels roughly 13 to 20 feet long, including sailboats, runabouts and tenders. It fits most common bow roller designs, allowing neat stowage and easier deployment from the bow.

• Recommended for boats approximately 13'–20' depending on conditions and anchor scope.
• Compact form factor works with many bow rollers for secure storage.
• Available in multiple weights across the Lewmar range to match larger vessels.

What makes Lewmar’s construction different from budget anchors?

Lewmar builds this claw as a single-piece high-strength unit, reducing weak points found in welded or bolted assemblies. The brand’s marine-focused engineering and heat-treatment process aim to balance toughness with predictable behavior on varied bottoms.

• Single-piece construction reduces potential failure points under shock loads.
• Heat-treatment improves tensile strength and fatigue resistance.
• Produced by an established marine supplier with long industry experience.

Who is this for? Boaters who want a compact, dependable anchor for small to midsize vessels will find the Lewmar 2.2 lb claw suitable. It’s aimed at weekend sailors, tender owners and anyone looking for a quick-setting Bruce-style anchor that stores easily on a bow roller. If you operate in mixed seabeds and need a corrosion-resistant anchor built to marine standards, this model is a practical choice; for larger yachts or extreme holding demands, consider heavier Lewmar sizes designed for bigger vessels.
