About MoorSafe

Built by people who know the harbor.

The standard mushroom anchor has had the same flaw for a hundred years. Someone in Maine ought to fix it.

Captain Gregory Smith

Twenty years of mooring service work and a captain of unlimited-tonnage vessels in worldwide trade. B.S., Maine Maritime Academy. The MoorSafe anchor exists because Captain Smith spent his career watching chain wrap break boats, mooring fields, and seasons — and knew exactly what a working fix had to look like.

We build every anchor the way Captain Smith would have wanted it built.

Designed here. Made here. Tested here.

Tensile testing at Yale Cordage in Saco. Field testing in Casco Bay. The people we build for are our neighbors — and every anchor reflects it.
