Effective anchoring depends on several factors including boat size, wind and weather conditions, bottom-type and other variables.

While there’s no magic formula, Greenfield’s Anchor Selection Chart is a great starting point for equipping your boat.

Consult the chart to determine suitable anchor types and sizes for your particular boat, then compare features and performance levels to best meet your needs.

Anchor Buddy is like offshore parking for your boat, away from rocks, traffic and crowds. 

Selecting an anchor is the first step in assembling a complete safe anchoring system

With so many variables to consider, it’s equally important to know your anchor, how it works and how to make the most of it in different, often changing, conditions.

The originators of stretch-cordage for boating, Greenfield’s innovative bungee products became game-changers for docking of small and midsized craft.  

Dock Buddy, the world’s first bungee dock-line, was introduced in the 1990’s and soon became a standard in the docking products category, worldwide. 

While the success of Dock Buddy predictably spawned imitators, Greenfield took stretch cordage in a bold new direction and in 2006, introduced Stretch N Slide, the world’s first bungee loop-line for docking or rafting.

This innovative multi-loop design makes this dock line the perfect size, every time and eliminates the need for users to choose a specific size.
