If you ride a personal watercraft (PWC), like a Jet Ski, stowing a metal or aluminum anchor in the craft&#8217;s onboard storage containers can wreak havoc, sometimes almost punching through in rough conditions. That&#8217;s no good aboard an inflatable, either. Australian-based Cooper Anchors has designed a world-first lightweight, plastic anchor with a weighted tip, straight streamline shank and small blade that work harmoniously to drive deep into the sea bed and hold your craft in place. What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s flexible, tough, won&#8217;t scratch or puncture your PWC or inflatable and weighs less than 1kg. ..<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/anchor\/\" rel=\"tag\">Anchor<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/boat\/\" rel=\"tag\">Boat<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/marine\/\" rel=\"tag\">Marine<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/worlds+first\/\" rel=\"tag\">World&#8217;s First<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/3653\/\">Innovative HydroBubble anchor updates one of man&#8217;s earliest inventions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/roboclam-anchor-mit\/13424\/\">Innovative anchor takes inspiration from the Ferrari of underwater diggers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/titanic-dna-tourbillon-steampunk-a-la-grande\/11678\/\">Titanic-DNA Tourbillon Steampunk a la Grande<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/7831\/\">Electric inflatable watercraft &#8211; the Jetski for beginners<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/7510\/\">Autonomous, self-mooring buoy system<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/2132\/\">Black&amp;Decker Bullseye<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WPv0LsVqyS7jVN2JUbqghoSLwKE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WPv0LsVqyS7jVN2JUbqghoSLwKE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WPv0LsVqyS7jVN2JUbqghoSLwKE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WPv0LsVqyS7jVN2JUbqghoSLwKE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=yO52TluCxNY:D1m711QL-vc:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine\/~4\/yO52TluCxNY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most small watercraft need anchors just like bigger boats, but many down-sized anchors struggle to hold these vessels in place, even breaking apart.
