The Fortress Guardian anchor, model G-16, has a weight of 3.63 kg and is equivalent to a 6-8 kg iron anchor. It is presented with dimensions A(mm): 737, B(mm): 432, C(mm): 584 and information indicating it is suitable for boats 8-10 meters in length.
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 forgoing some features of the Fortress anchor, such as its adjustable fluke angle, aluminum anodization, and certain manufacturing characteristics.
The precisely manufactured aluminum is at least as strong as steel, but half the weight. The flukes have a 32-degree angle and the surface is not anodized. With its stainless structure, it is stated as a more economical option compared to heavy iron anchors.
