The idea came to him after his anchor dragged during a family cruise in Sardinia. Unlike conventional anchor alarms, which monitor the multihull's position and can be triggered when the boat swings around its anchor, Morphéis tracks the position of the anchor itself.
Attached to the anchor or the first link of the chain, the buoy remains directly above it thanks to a variable-length Dyneema line combined with a spring-loaded mechanism. Its GPS tracker detects any suspicious movement and triggers an alarm on the onboard receiver, accompanied by an SMS alert.
Powered by a solar panel, the buoy weighs 11 lbs (5 kg) and features a removable electronic module. It can also serve as an anchor trip line to free a fouled anchor, with its line offering a breaking strength of 1,653 lbs (750 kg).
Already partnering with Excess through the MyExcess platform, Mooring Solution offers a particularly appealing solution for cruisers who enjoy spending extended periods at anchor.
