Anchors are one of the oldest inventions in the world - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza Ahmed < Back Share Shocking Revelation: Where did Anchors come from? Aziza Ahmed Apr 30, 2022 Anchors are one of the oldest inventions in the world The history of the anchor as a symbol of navigation is a long one. In ancient times, anchors were mostly made of stone or wood. They were heavy enough to keep the ship from drifting away. Nowadays, they are usually made of iron and shaped like a cross. An anchor is a weight that a ship drops down to the seabed to hold itself in place. Back in the old days, it's hard to imagine sailors setting out on their sea adventures without the anchor. Historical records indicate that the earliest versions of anchors were used as religious offerings. The first recorded use of an anchor was in about 1250 B.C. when a Greek merchant ship found itself sinking off the coast of Crete. The crew had no idea how to save the vessel, but one man remembered the bronze anchor in his cargo hold. He threw the piece overboard, and, much to his surprise and that of his crew, the ship immediately stopped sinking! The man felt that he had been saved by God, so he vowed to throw an anchor into the sea whenever he passed near Crete. Over time, other sailors who had experienced similar good fortune began following suit, and throwing anchors into the sea became somewhat of ritualistic practice. Eventually, people realized that they could use anchors to their advantage while at sea instead of just making offerings with them. Then, the first known wooden anchors were created by Greeks in around the 5th century B.C. and these models were later improved in different sizes and materials. Anchors are one of the oldest inventions in the world. In modern times, anchors are still used for the same purpose. Anchors are typically used to keep boats in one place, but they can be used for other purposes such as attaching them underwater to rocks and coral reefs so that boats won't drift away. There are many different types of anchors, including: Stockless Anchors Bruce Anchor Mushroom Anchor Plow Anchor Danforth Anchor Different types of anchors are appropriate for different kinds of ships and conditions. For example, temporary anchors on cargo ships should be able to come up easily with minimal effort, while permanent anchors on cruise ships need to provide the utmost stability in rough seas. So, that’s all about ANCHORS. I hope you found this information useful Best Dione P.S. “Hope is the anchor of life”, I agree. Without hope, we wouldn't survive. Hope motivates us to succeed. Hope keeps us afloat, and we need hope to get through life. Agree? Even you need hope in order to ensure that your search for a boat will bring you success. But what else do you need with hope?

Located around 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the new marina is part of a larger integrated resort project by Wynn Resorts, which will include over 1,500 rooms and various entertainment and leisure amenities. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share IGY Marinas to Operate Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina in the UAE Aziza | BASCO Team Jul 17, 2025 Located around 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the new marina is part of a larger integrated resort project by Wynn Resorts, which will include over 1,500 rooms and various entertainment and leisure amenities. IGY Marinas has been appointed to operate the marina at the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The marina, which is currently under development, is expected to open in 2027 and will be the second IGY Marinas-managed facility in the Middle East. Located around 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the new marina is part of a larger integrated resort project by Wynn Resorts, which will include over 1,500 rooms and various entertainment and leisure amenities. The marina will feature 101 berths, designed to accommodate vessels up to 85 meters in length. IGY Marinas is providing advisory services during the development phase and will handle marina operations and marketing after its opening. The marina’s design has been developed by Marina Solutions International (MSI), a UK-based consultancy. MSI has been involved since 2022, carrying out feasibility studies, market research, and technical design. According to the company, the marina aims to support Ras Al Khaimah's efforts to grow as a coastal destination. Ras Al Khaimah has been positioning itself as an alternative tourism destination in the UAE, focusing on natural landscapes and cultural heritage. The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority reported 1.28 million overnight visitors in 2024, with plans to attract 3.5 million annual visitors by 2030. The new marina is one of several developments supporting this tourism growth strategy. The Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina project involves collaboration between Wynn Resorts, IGY Marinas, and MSI. The partners have emphasized the importance of detailed planning and experienced management in the development of this waterfront facility. With the opening scheduled for 2027, the Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina is expected to add to the region’s growing marine infrastructure. By combining operational expertise from IGY Marinas with detailed design input from MSI, the project reflects a planned approach to marina development in the UAE. As Ras Al Khaimah continues to invest in tourism and coastal projects, this marina could serve as a practical option for visiting yachts and support the emirate’s broader vision for sustainable growth in marine and leisure tourism.
