The POOL N anchor is said to be the most beautiful anchor. Probably for this reason large yachts and cruise vessels are often equipped with this type of POOL anchor. This does not mean that these anchors are not in use on board of cargo carriers. On the contrary, some of the biggest container shippers in the world equip all their vessels with this type of POOL anchor.
The flukes of the POOL N anchor are constructed out of two shaped plates, which are welded together. Therefore, the flukes of the POOL N anchor are hollow. This construction gives the anchor a large resistance against bending forces.
The extreme points of the POOL N anchor are wider than the width of the crownplates. Consequently the anchor gives a very stable anchoring character.
The POOL N anchors are fully balanced, which enable them to be smoothly stowed in an anchor pocket. The endshape of the shank of the POOL N anchor can be varied for application of all different types and dimensions of connecting parts.
