ROCNA: CHANGING THE STATUS QUO
The Rocna anchor was designed by New Zealand sailor Peter Smith,
who has been designing, building, and sailing boats since the
early 1960’s. Over 100,000 nautical miles of cruising, Peter
experienced the same anchoring problems that are still prevalent
today – needing to carry a variety of anchors to suit various
seabeds, yet still the anchors dragged and boaters felt insecure.
“Your anchor should provide you and your crew with reliability,
security, and confidence,” says Peter. A lifetime of nautical
experience worldwide was poured into an anchor – initially
conceived for Peter’s own use – which became the Rocna.
AN INDEPENDENTLY TESTED NEW GENERATION DESIGNPeter’s solution
consistently returns top results in objective and independent
testing. Since its launch in 2004, the Rocna has led worldwide
anchor tests as published in the likes of SAIL, Yachting Monthly,
Practical Boat Owner, Voile, and others. Because of the Rocna’s
reliable and convincing performance against its competition,
Rocna is trusted to be rock solid in the real world. You don’t
need to take our word for it.
FOR ALL WHO NEED RELIABILITY FROM PERFORMANCERocna anchors are
performing in some of the world’s toughest locales, including
Patagonia, Antarctica, Alaska, Greenland, Scotland – as well as
enduring temperamental tropical weather. Rocna has “buy-in” from
respected boaters whose opinions matter, from Steve Dashew to
Jimmy Cornell. Southern lattitudes sailing pioneer Jérôme Poncet
reports: “It took me years with many trials to achieve, in
discovering the Rocna anchor, foolproof holding power…”
PRECISION SETTINGThe roll-bar ensures that the anchor always
arrives at the ideal angle for penetration, and the setting skids
guide the fluke tip which acts as a sharp chisel cutting into the
seabed. With a third of the anchor’s weight on its fluke tip, an
instant reliable set is ensured with every use.
ROCK SOLID HOLDING POWEROf all anchor types, a concave fluke
gives the greatest resistance, and through clever design Rocna
provides the largest fluke area possible. In very soft seabeds,
this provides the holding power to secure your boat. On hard or
weedy sea floors, Rocna’s chisel tip ensures that it cuts through
and bites deep.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITYThe Rocna is a true multi-purpose anchor that
sets and holds in most seabeds, from soft mud to hard sand, clay,
grass, and kelp.
RESISTANT TO WIND AND TIDE SHIFTSA Rocna remains stable and
buried, and does not roll out on reversal or veering of load, or
if dragged beyond yield, providing enhanced security.
HIGHEST QUALITY BUILD AND FINISHCompare the welds and finish on a
genuine Rocna anchor to alternatives. We believe a top performing
product should be built like one, and we spend a lot of time and
resources on production and quality control procedures to ensure
that this is the case.
HIGH TENSILE STEEL SHANKRocna anchors are designed – and built –
for strength and durability.
SELF-DEPLOYING AND SELF-RECOVERINGThe Rocna shank is designed so
the anchor self-launches and self-stows on the majority of
bow-rollers, with the greatest possible reliability.

Warranty against both breakage and bending in addition to
manufacturing defects.
