The rollers can accommodate any fluke style or Delta anchor weighing up to 35lb and any CQR anchor up to 45lb.

Lewmar now supplies calibrated short link anchor chain in sizes from 6mm to 12mm. Manufactured in mild or stainless steel, Lewmar says the links are welded for high strength and calibrated to ensure even pitch.

Hot dipped galvanised to minimise corrosion, Lewmar says its chain will fit all Lewmar gypsies as well as most others commonly used today.

For those who prefer the lower weight and compact stowage from the combination of chain and rope, Lewmar now offers a range of . Featuring 3-strand medium lay nylon, back spliced on to calibrated short link anchor chain, the rodes are designed for snag-free fall characteristics and can fit all Lewmar rope chain gypsies fitted to Lewmar windlasses.

The tapered back splice ensures a smooth transition from chain to rope around the gypsy and according to the company, the hand-sewn whipping guarantees against unravelling.

Other new additions to Lewmar's anchoring accessories include chain stoppers, anchor safety straps, double swivel anchor connectors and bow and D shackles.

Cleats are also now available for both power and sail boats, plus raked bollards for heavier lines and handed fairleads to minimize wear on dock and mooring lines.
