The anchor's in the bag

US company Fortress Marine Anchors has produced a storm anchor in a bag; the Stowaway Bag.

Designed exclusively for all Fortress and Guardian anchor models, the Stowaway Bag will hold a disassembled anchor, two metres of chain and shackles.

The correct size tools are included and kept handy in pouches that are sewn inside the bag. The company says easy to understand diagrams on anchor assembly and bag-packing are also sewn into the bag.

The bag is constructed of ballistic-grade Dupont Cordura.

Its closures and straps are made of high-strength, extra-wide Velcro fasteners, so there is never a problem with zippers that may catch or rust.
