I had a chance to use the anchor in Greek islands under very strong winds but the ULTRA performed really well. As told, it buried itself deeper by the increased load and kept on holding us perfectly. It also carried another 45 feet boat under 30 knot winds.
We had the opportunity to test the new anchor yesterday. Fabulous! As promised, it set instantly and on held the first try. I watched the GPS like a hawk to see if we were moving. We weren't, and were sitting in about 10 knots of wind. It was also remarkably easy to "break" and because of its polished surface, it easily shed the nasty Chesapeake Bay mud that would cling like glue to the galvanized predecessor.
We want to inform you how happy we are with the Ultra anchor. We have been anchored out now for 6 weeks along the Turkish coast in some of the same mud bottom that we dragged in with our old Rocna. In Knidos for example is hard clay/ mud, and we popped out the Rocna as it was fouled with hard mud and wouldn't reset.

Tent gathering the rain on was tight on stern. The crazy wind started to shake the tent out extremely that I thought its connections would break away. We both ran to gather the tent. It got swollen with the crazy wind and it was nearly going to wing us. We barely wrapped it and put into the locker. We were totally wet in such a short time like we felt into water.
We have now tried it out in mud, sand and coarse sand and it has worked extremely well every time. With our last anchor we could not get it to set in sand - our biggest test - even with scopes of 10:1. The Ultra has set firmly and quickly every time with scopes of 3:1. The anchor also self launches every time whereas we often had to give our last one a kick to get it moving.
We already met at boat shows. My boat is Bavaria 33 Cruiser; our anchor is 16kg Ultra. I already thanked you personally but I wanted to write you to thank again for making such a great product for us. I am already writing about it at forums. We had some incredible adventures with Ultra.
On a stormy day, all boats from close islands, open bays and harbors crowded into Vilihona bay. Culiana did not anchor; he boarded his boat on me. We wanted to try my anchor. Culiano’s boat is two times bigger then mine. We used 20mt chain at a 6.5m depth. The weather blew nonstop between 28-38 for 24 hours. We saw 52 at showers. After that storm Culiana ran to the internet cafe to buy an Ultra anchor made in Tukey…
I am delighted to confirm that the 80Kg* Ultra not only looks superb but has held my 100 ton yacht securely during 2 days of 40 knot winds with gusts up to 50 knots. At the height of the storm, the anchor slipped some 20m but quickly dug itself in again
I have been using your 21kg Ultra Anchor for three years. It always made me felt totally in safe till today. Furthermore, last Saturday in the Cold Water Cove located at the south part of Kusadasi gulf while I was on anchoring maneuver; my boat flew off the rocks with full speed because of a sudden failure at the engine remote control system when the anchor had just touched to the sea bed.
When we recover the anchor, we see how it buried itself. When your anchor is being used, there is no need for great timing, maneveour or speed. Our each anchoring attempt resulted with a great success like the first one. Anchoring is not a problem for us no more, we congrulate each others for our success at the each anchoring attempt.
We have used our anchor many, many times throughout our trip and absolutely LOVE it!!! Our new motto is simply "Drop it, Set it, FORGET it! We can't even count how many times we watched other boats drop their anchor, DRAG their anchor, move to another spot, and repeat, repeat, repeat... We never even ONCE had to move because our anchor wouldn't set.
We had successful anchoring at each of 5 countries that we had been and stayed safe. We had seen that the products have the all functions told us at the show. As much as the quality of the products, we also thank to the YUCEL family for their warm interest away from commercial anxiety which is proper to sailors.
Let me first introduce myself, I’m Steven Dinger. My wife and I currently own a Catana 472 Catamaran. As with many catamaran owners we have owned our share of mono-hulls. I started with a 25’ sloop progressed to a 32’ Garden design and did 14 years of serious cruising with our Norseman 447 and 10 of the 14 years with the 535 cutter rigged.
We hardly found our way to the crowded anchoring area. In the evening we met with Staublar again and after diner we went back to our boat before it was too late. Fortunately, we came back early because, a dragging boat at that storm hooked its chain to our anchor. After working so hard we could let him go.
The combination of the Ultra-Anchor, your nifty swivel and your chain hook are in danger of making us become over-confident in our anchoring skills. We've been on the hook every night for the last six weeks in the Gulf of California. We've seen your demonstration that the anchor will reset itself but it has not had to prove that to us.
The anchor that I use now is the Ultra made in Turkey. The reason that I chose that it was designed by a naval architect and it is the developed and perfected shape of S…. anchor which is also a very good anchor. S…. owners have commends about it at a lot of foreign boat magazines. Anyhow I think it is the most expensive anchor in market for today.
This is our 2nd year using the Turkish made Ultra Anchor/Swivel/Grab hook. I was 1st made aware of it where someone recommended the Turkish made Ultra Swivel which is a unique design that rights the anchor as it comes over the roller.
You did design a fabulous anchor. I can now anchor even by shorter scope at all places where I could not with my old B…. anchor. Congratulations and keep up with good work.
I had a chance to try our new ULTRAnchor and the swivel, yesterday. We went to a specific place where we could not get the previous anchor held even by trying for several times and the ULTRA held at the first attempt. After that the known storm caught us while we were out of Buyukada island, yesterday.
