High Holding Power (HHP) Anchors
A high holding power anchor refers to an anchor that has a strong ability to grip the seabed and resist dragging or slipping. These anchors are designed to provide reliable and secure anchoring even in challenging conditions, such as strong currents, high winds, or varying seabed types.
The term “high holding power anchor” does not refer to a specific anchor type but rather describes the performance characteristic of an anchor. There are various anchor designs that are known for their high holding power, such as delta Anchor, plow anchors, fluke anchors (including Danforth and Fortress anchors).
