Greenfield Products Beach Spike Boat Anchor - Vinyl Coated Sand Anchor for Beach and Shore
The Greenfield Products Beach Spike Boat Anchor (part number 3028-B) is a sand anchor built for tying up to the bank or beach rather than anchoring in open water. Its slide-hammer action lets you drive the spike deep into sand for a secure hold, and a wing nut loosens to allow this self-driving hammer motion. The anchor is built around a 1 inch steel pipe with a 5/8 inch steel shaft, finished in a vinyl coating over a black powder-coated exterior for corrosion resistance. A textured PVC grip covers the handle for a secure hold when driving or removing the spike, and a steel cleat is built in for tying off your line. Because it collapses down to a compact size, the Beach Spike Boat Anchor stores easily in ski lockers or under back-to-back boat seating, making it a practical choice for boats and kayaks with limited storage space. It is designed for anchoring in sand at the beach or shoreline, not as a traditional open-water anchor.
