Check out Wallmarkt! Maybe they got some small 1 man boat where u put ur Phone on the side till it slips into the water and u go after it but when u get back on the boat, it Flips over and ur fucked!
When I am buying anchors I don't look any further than the ultra anchor. These anchors are great, I give them away for every birthday. Just the other day I tipped a waitress with one. They are very versatile.
I worked in the marine industry for a major (world's largest) marine supplyer and i can tell you factually this anchor does not self right unless ALL ocean floor conditions are perfect,then it does not always dig in like this shows.i say this because i picked up from customers to be returned more then 60% of these anchors and others like them in design.many "cruisers" bought them and returned them asap.
So what is a good anchor design? I got 20lb danforths and a 40lb Rocna, both seem to hold good in sand and mud bottoms. I don't see how the anchor in the video is any different from the Rocna except for the "loop" on top of the rocna.
XV30 Decked Its called dragging. Look it up. You'll notice if your anchor doesnt hold, sooner or later. Atleast you should, if you have any competence whatsoever.
@@-israel-3310 holy crap it has been 2 years !?? I'm turning 19 soon and every single penny I've made during part time jobs was used to pay for my school fees. Maybe try again in 2 years. The cheapest boat I can buy that's sea worthy, is around 20k here.
Sure looks like a 'Bruce' anchor to me. They have been around for for 70 years or so and I've used them since 1960. With a perfect bottom [as shown] they work a treat, but with the more common foul anchorage, maybe not so much. Seasoned skippers always carry more than one design of ground tackle and sleep with one eye open.
Or you have a real anchor ⚓ what means there is a heavy chain attached to it because this truly keeps a ship behind its anchor and does function as a load-absorber, with wind burst or heavy sea's, as well since the boat first has to lift the chain up from the bottom.
@@brqxton8974 Sorry that i did it wrong for the last 25+ years on our Barges.. as where the 3 Generations of sailers in my family before me... X'D So since it seems you didn't understood the first time i try to explain a second time... If you have (very) Bad weather the more chain you put the better you will stay behind you Anchor. The Anchor Chain is what keeps the ship stable behind the Anchor, it reacts as a buffer so that when Waves slam into the Bow to prevent the Anchor to slip over the ground. Because the Chain will be lifted from the bottom first, before the ship pulls directly at the Anchor itself. But now i have a question for you... Do you ever preformed Anchoring with Cargo Barges in Bad weather? And if yess, then you might have experienced the drifting of the Barge behind the Anchor... I mean, if not the Case i not even believe you have ever set foot on anything bigger than white shiny Yachts. The Answer to this drifting behind the Anchor in Bad weather is releasing more Chain into the water.
And to be more precise. You lower the anchor on the ocean floor until it sort of touches, than you back down the ship slowly down wind.. this than gently pulls out more Chain onto the bottom. So from the ship you have the Chain in a straight line towards the Anchor, most of it laying on the bottom.
@@joybod I assume you mean Sailing Yachts and this is true. They will have a small engine that is usually used in harbour and for other slow speed and tight manoeuvrers.
The metal of the anchor is cast with patented inter-dimensional technology, anchoring it firmly inside the backrooms, putting an end to all that bobbing, drifting, and dragging!
*These Anchors were all the rage in 2016 but now nobody in the sailing community will touch them because of the everlight 5000 series anchors are far superior.*
we tried i believe a 30 pound version of a similar delta anchor on a trojan 44' and it sets alright, but it is NOT for any sort of tight parking. sand, silt, pebbles, yes it'll dig in, but as soon as the boat starts rotating the anchor will roll over on its side and heave up all the sediment holding it down. we had well over 100 feet of drift beyond our initial anchoring point because once it rolls it's hard to get it set again without powering the boat back, and what's the use of an anchor that needs reset every 5 minutes. it's simply not heavy enough for anything over 35 feet, certainly not a craft the size of the animation. we much prefer a 43 pound fluke, especially for varied lake/seabeds. not as much straight line holding power as a plow or delta, but the stocks keep it stable so the anchor doesn't roll with the boat. the ONLY downside we found is because they usually have a narrow articulation angle it's easy for trees or debris to get wedged between the shank and flukes.
Anchors don't hold ships in place.. its the weight of the chain that holds the ship in place. The anchor itself only prevents the chain from slipping, that's why u put 3or5 times the water depth in chain length to make sure u stay in place if your chain is not on the sea floor but floating above it as illustrated in this animation, u wont have a good time if u wakeup.
I was reading Hebrews 6:19 where It is Written,” we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. And I wanted to see what an anchor really does and when I searched on RU-vid, this was the first video suggestion that popped up and when they say you can see GOD in everything, they mean EVERYTHING….. even in a random anchor commercial!!!!!! Everything about the anchor showed GOD’s Heart for His people 🥹🥹🥹and it blows my mind the way GOD shows that HE is everywhere and in everything. You cannot tell me GOD is not real 💯💯
My experience with traditional anchors have been fire and forget; the mechanics behind them are too basic to over-engineer. This would be incredibly difficult to pull back aboard, and would not fare well in rocks or weeds.
My idea is to make a mechanical anchor. Some kind of machine we can just plop into the water that uses tools to anchor itself by human control. Solid rock? Drill. Sands? Big honkin stakes. You could sit an entire fleet literally anywhere you want if you have the right tools installed.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past!
*in place. and yes u are correct. the weight of the chain keeps it place. the anchor is only there to prevent the chain from sliding. minimum 3times the water depth is the amount u chain u need to put out to stay in place. Anchors with Steel cables need 5-7 times the water depth in length put out in order to stay in place.
1st rule: holds weight of the chain, not anchor itself. Therefore 2nd rule: release a chain with a length of at least 5 depths. Therefore 3d rule: free anchorage space not less than 10 times the depth
@@Furiousjp01 it isn't really the anchor digging into the bottom that makes an anchor hold. It's the many feet of chain, with all that weight, along the bottom that really does the holding. So you're supposed to put out about 5x as much chain as the depth where you anchor. So if you anchor in 20 meters, 100 meters of chain. Then he's saying stay 10 times the depth away from everyone else, so again in 20 meters, stay 200 meters away from everyone/everthing else. That way you can swing into someone else at anchor, and if you drag you won't instantly be screwed.
I saw this vid three years ago at 6am when YT becomes weird and i have been searching for it again eversince and i finally found it again at 4am and i am not dissapointed.
My wife said i was crazy when i told her i was buying this anchor after never seeing it in person. I said "Don't worry sweetheart, this anchor has been thoroughly tested the best way possible, all on a computer simulation! What could possibly go wrong with it???"
@@HaloNeInTheDark27 Since we're already fucking up our oceans let's go all the way and destroy the reefs that supports all sorts of marine life? The solution is what I saw on shark tank AU the other day it's a contraption that allows us to safely pull out the anchor without doing as much damage.
