Over  a 2 year trial period conducted by MEECE delivered by CATAPULT Offshore Renewable Energy, in collaboration with Swansea University and with £50k of funding from the Welsh Government, the patented Tidal Anchor has successfully completed beach and sea trials which demonstrate the omni-directional, environmentally friendly capabilities of its unique design. The purpose of the project was to undertake a range of tests of the Tidal Anchor to validate the technology and show potential manufacturers and investors that it is better than other anchors at the same weight class.


In both beach and sea trials, the Tidal Anchor comprehensively out performed the popular Danforth, CQR and Bruce designs. With its low profile and assured setting capabilities when deployed, the Tidal Anchor is also ideal for easy stowage as an emergency anchor. 


Currently Swansea University are carrying out a detailed analysis of the data collected, with a final report due to be published in the near future.


"This was a particularly interesting project to work on.  As a yachtsman, when at anchor it is impossible to sleep deeply, especially when the tide turns.  Sceptical at first, because it was so radical a design, but was very impressed with the performance and therefore keen to support the fledgling company.”
