Greenfield Richter Anchor — 18 lb, Black
The Richter is one of the most versatile anchors available for recreational boaters. It combines three time-tested anchor technologies into a single design: the holding weight of a river anchor, the bottom-penetrating ability of a grapnel, and the easy retrieval of a slip-ring anchor. The result is an anchor that sets quickly, holds firmly across a wide range of bottom types, and releases cleanly even when buried or snagged.
The patented release mechanism lets you break the anchor free with a simple upward pull — no wrestling with a stuck fluke or cutting your rode. Rated for boats up to 24 feet.

Compatible Applications
- Mixed-bottom anchorages (sand, mud, rock, weed)

Parts Desk Insights
The Richter is the best all-around choice when you anchor in varied conditions and don't want to carry multiple anchor types. Its slip-ring retrieval makes it especially popular with boaters who anchor in weedy or rocky areas where conventional anchors get stuck. If you need more holding power for a larger boat, step up to the 25 lb Richter (238-625B). For dedicated river or current anchoring, the Tri-Fluke River Anchor is purpose-built for that job. Complete your setup with a Greenfield Grade 30 Anchor Lead Chain for added holding power.
