Anchor Stow Inc. is a Florida-based company specializing in the design and manufacturing of anchor stowage devices, primarily for boats with aluminum frames such as pontoons or deckboats. The company was founded by Captain Kathe Fannon, an experienced commercial captain from Cortez, FL with over 30 years in boating operations, including running a dolphin sightseeing tour business. Co-founder Rich Paquelet, the inventor of Anchor Stow, is also deeply rooted in the Florida boating community, having spent numerous years fishing and operating boats both in Ohio and later in Bradenton, FL.
The concept for Anchor Stow was born from Rich's practical need to effectively store anchors on his Bennington pontoon boat, leading to meticulous design and multiple prototypes. This culminated in the official US Patent US Patent number 8,943,989 B2, issued in early 2015. The business partner collaboration leveraged Captain Kathe's extensive industry relationships, providing a solid marketing foundation upon installation of the devices on various boats for testing.
