The DAME Design Awards raise awareness of the need for a total design approach to marine equipment design, from aesthetics to functionality, integration to packaging and price efficiency to lifecycle management. It encourages continuous improvement and enables METSTRADE exhibitors from around the world to have their efforts assessed by experts and benchmarked in the marketplace.
A flat pack anchor with no fixings sounds improbable, until
you try putting it together and realise it provides a fascinating
answer for an easily stowed spare anchor or kedge. Formed of
three interlocking plates, the design feels appropriately
secure when assembled. It also offers obvious reductions
in manufacturing impact with no welding involved. There
are stainless steel, galvanised steel and aluminium options,
in weights between 1.5kg-27.2kg.
