SARCA W3-4 Alloy Bow Sprit
This SARCA bowsprit uses aluminium construction with a self-launching head and dual rollers. The arrangement is designed to align the anchor during retrieval and let it launch freely, while the rollers help reduce bruising and chafing of the anchor rope. Replaceable rollers also allow the rolling components to be serviced.
Its mounting-base length, head dimensions, side height and outside width are all relevant when checking the available bow space. Compare the stated anchor-weight limit and SARCA anchor-size range together; the largest capacity elsewhere in the range does not apply to every bowsprit. The supported anchor weight is a capacity figure, not the weight of the bowsprit itself.
This A1-2 or W3-4 configuration includes the heavy-duty threaded thumb-screw arrangement for anchor removal. The compatible captive-nut code below helps identify the appropriate replacement for this material and model.
Check the roller path and clearances with the actual anchor, rather than relying on a model name alone. The bowsprit is designed for a range of installations that may require adaptation, not a universal bolt-on fit. Use the exact measurements below to compare the component with your boat and existing mounting arrangement.
Choosing and using this product
Plan how the equipment will be reached, deployed and secured when not in use. Keep the connections accessible for inspection and follow the relevant anchoring-equipment instructions. A storage position should accommodate the complete assembly without trapping the rope beneath other gear.
An anchoring purchase is best considered as part of the complete arrangement. Review the anchor type, the intended bottom conditions and the boat’s existing rope, chain and fittings. The anchor’s nominal mass is one selection point, alongside its shape and the space available to stow it.
