The Quick Olympic anchor is defined by the technical values provided for a weight of 20 Kg, chain size of 8 mm, boat length of 12.6 m, and boat weight of 10.2 T. The product dimensions are specified as A (mm): 409, B (mm): 696.5, C (mm): 17, D (mm): 20, E (mm): 566.5, F (mm): 487.2, G (mm): 287, H (mm): 240, I (mm): 320.
Olympic anchors are developed through detailed product engineering and manufacturing processes carried out by Quick. The shape and size of Olympic anchors are proportioned to allow a greater amount of lead in the front part of the fluke; this weight distribution option allows the center of gravity to protrude more towards the tip in a compact size and increases penetration capacity.
The sheet metal forming process with subsequent welding is the chosen manufacturing process for Olympic anchors. This process guarantees weight distribution optimization by allowing a high strength-to-mass ratio. The resulting voids and the air trapped inside create a buoyancy effect, ensuring the anchor is correctly positioned on the seabed. Thanks to its compact shank structure, the Olympic anchor is compatible with most bow rollers available on the market.
Tip: The tip is developed on two circular surfaces designed to facilitate the sliding of the material encountered during the seabed penetration process.
Stabilizing Fins: The stabilizing fins ensure the anchor remains in a perpendicular position to the seabed during the gripping phase.
Reinforcement Plate: The special reinforcement applied between the fluke and the shank provides greater shank resistance against extraordinary pulls and increases the joining surface between the two anchor elements; it also allows the buoy line to be secured for anchor release.
Eye: The special shape and dimensions of the hole allow the anchor to be lifted extremely easily and safely; the eye thickness is calculated to withstand extremely high tensile stresses.
