The Fortress Guardian G-55 anchor is specified with a weight of 12.25 kg and an equivalent steel anchor range of 23-29 kg. It has dimensions of A(mm): 1092, B(mm): 635, C(mm): 889 and is suitable for a boat length range of 14-16 meters.
The Guardian is manufactured from corrosion-resistant, high-strength magnesium aluminum, like the Fortress, and using the same precise manufacturing methods. Relatively smaller profile molds are used, and the Guardian model is created by sacrificing some features such as the adjustable fluke angle, aluminum anodization, and certain manufacturing characteristics of the Fortress anchor.
It is stated that the precisely manufactured aluminum has a hardness similar to steel and is approximately half the weight. The flukes have a 32-degree angle and the surface is not anodized.
