Bowmaster Anchor Carriages
The sleek Superyacht carriage design
The sleek Superyacht carriage design
Anchor deployment carriages enable the anchor to swing forward and project clear of the hull during deployment. This is especially useful for vessels with plum bows or more vertical sections. All systems are gravity deployed and retracted using windlass power to avoid conflicting systems and additional cost.
Available in aluminium, stainless or titanium, all systems are designed by our engineers in conjunction with yard naval architects.

Bowmaster Superbox Swivel
Shortest anchor/chain connector available
Shortest anchor/chain connector available
The Superbox Swivel is the shortest possible connector from the anchor to the last common link of the chain. This means the shortest distance between the anchor shank and chainstopper which in turn means the anchors/winches can be placed much further forward in the hull. The main advantage of this is to allow the winch gear to be moved as far forward as possible to allow the owner as much deck space for private use.
The Superbox Swivel is manufactured to exceeds all LR requirements.

Bowmaster Hiding Anchor Pocket
Clean and tidy anchor stowage
Clean and tidy anchor stowage
Since each hull is different, each anchor pocket is customised to exact specifications supplied by the Naval Architects. Our 3D scanning technology along with our dedication to accuracy ensure the pockets arrive ready to be welded or bolted into the hull of the vessel. Stainless pockets can also be supplied with detacouple for welding onto Aluminium hulls. In addition to the pockets, custom fitted scratch plates are included to protect the hull of the vessel.

Bowmaster Submarine Plough System
Combining the old with the new
Combining the old with the new
As vessels become increasing reliant on underwater deployment solutions, there became a need to adapt the technology to work with the tried and tested plough anchor. The functionality of the system is designed to be as simple as possible, with no additional lifting devices like hydraulics or pneumatics, gravity and windless power drive the entire system. This has resulted in a very crew friendly deployment system which requires only precautionary supervision during retrieval.
Bowmaster Underwater Deployment System
Underhull anchor deployment
Underhull anchor deployment
After extensive research and testing, Bowmaster has developed a new underhull anchor turning mechanism solution.The turning system enables both 90 degree turning (for symmetric baseplate) and 180 degrees turning (for asymmetric baseplate) of the Submarine anchor. We supply a full system including: anchor pocket, turning mechanism, hawse pipe, all related spares, all items are made from either SAF2205 or 316 stainless steel, suits anchors 100-5000kg.
Manson Supreme – Lloyd’s Register SHHP
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel
The first production anchor in the world to be certified by Lloyd’s Register with Super High Holding Power (SHHP). The Supreme is a fast setting fixed shank anchor and with the added design feature of a dual slotted shank enables all purpose anchoring in rock and sand seabed types. Because the Supreme uses a roll bar to self right instead of a heavily leaded tip, weight and strength can be redistributed into the loadbearing fluke of the anchor.
