The San Francisco Bay Soft Mud Bottom Test

Sponsored by a major U.S. marine equipment supplier, the Soft Mud Anchor Tests were also verified by E. S. Maloney and witnessed by boating journalists and competing manufacturers.

The Soft Mud Tests served to illustrate the dramatic effects that differing bottom types can have upon various anchor designs. These tests also marked the debut of FORTRESS' revolutionary adjustable shank-fluke angle feature (from 32° to 45°), which provided a whopping 263% holding power increase in soft mud!
