Quick Summary
Developed and tested by the father and son trio they are now ready to make anchoring jet skis, kayaks, small tinnies and inflatable boats easy, safe and affordable.
The key points are
The Plastic Cooper Anchor is the world's first plastic anchor. It is small and light, weighing less than 1 kg, so it is easily transported and stored on small watercraft. Most importantly, the anchor performs better in all conditions than other small steel and aluminium anchors on the market.
Solution Categories
While using nylon to create a lighter anchor may seem like an obvious solution, it needs to be at least as effective as small aluminium and steel anchors on the market or it is useless.
Jet skis may seem small, but they weigh between 300-500kg, so they need a properly functioning anchor to keep them in place. The Plastic Cooper Anchor is not only lighter than steel and aluminium anchors, it actually works better than other anchors on the market.
This is achieved through a design that encourages the anchor to dig deep into the sand very quickly, giving it much greater holding power. The invention has been field tested for 12 months, and proved to have great strength in even the roughest conditions.
The Implementation Model, Framework or approach
Protecting our reefs.
Cooper Anchors also protect our reefs and reduce the risk of becoming permanently hooked up. By simply moving the shackle to the hole in the base of the shank, and use a cable tie through the top hole and chain. If the anchor does become stuck, the cable tie breaks and the anchor releases backwards without damaging the reef (if you wrap the cable tie through twice, you won't leave it behind).

About
Better Anchors for Everything That Floats
How and Why They Work
The holding power of any anchor is directly related to how deeply it sets and holds the sea bed. Most anchors on the market today are restricted by design to plowing along near the surface of the sea bed and rarely, if ever disappear completely below the sea bed. Cooper Anchors, very simple design with its weighted tip, straight streamline shank and small blade are designed to completely disappear below the sea bed and stay there even through wind and tide changes. The small area between the shank and the tip, (See Diagram below) allow cooper anchors to change direction with less effort, especially during anchor retrieval. As the boat is pulled forward, over and above the anchor, the anchor rotates with the vertical pull and is retrieved with the same effort, or less than was used in its setting.
