This method is particularly effective in soft or sandy bottoms where conventional anchors may not provide sufficient holding power.
The staafanker consists of a long, hollow steel pole with a sharp tip at the bottom. The
Staafankers are commonly used in areas with challenging seabed conditions, such as shallow waters, tidal flats,
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in alternative anchoring systems due to environmental concerns.
Overall, staafankers are a valuable tool in marine anchoring, offering a solution where traditional anchors may
