Thanks Steve, from one Anchor Fanatic to another. Keep up the good work.
You have confirmed what I have been saying for years. I have volcan 55lbs anchor on a 41 foot 14 ton sailboat. It has my completed trust. The volcan saved my boat
From hitting a bridge with a 3 to1
3 to 1 scope in an emergency situation in a 3 knot current in a narrow channel . I recommend the
Volcan completely. If you want
Sleep at night on anchor. This is your anchor
Another great video. The wind force information adds immeasurably to the total picture. So much so that I have added a load cell and a wind speed indicator to my own boat and plan to generate my own numbers.
Every bit to the end. Fair statement for the CQR and forming my future choices. Thanks for your continued testing.
Local my anchor recently had wrapped up on another even larger CQR and chain brought up.
Thank you for another comparing video. For my perspective you are the absolute number one expert for anchors.
Oh No! I'm an anchor fanatic! Great testing. Thanks.
Wow! Such a valuable service to the boating community! Thank you for all the thought and hard work.
thank you Steve; fantastic set of data. Cant wait to get my Viking 20!
Ive got a 50lb CQR on my 42 ft sail boat. People were telling me to buy a rockna to replace it! NOPE! Not after watching this
An hour and seven minutes of anchor testing ! Party tonight at my place!!
Thanks for yet another great video!
Have been thinking of a Vulcan for my thirty five footer for a while now and this test got me to order one. :-)
Bo, we used the Vulcan’20 on a 16000lb 35’er in 2021 in sand, soft mud and heavy weed, mid conditions over a 45 day cruise. Was very secure. Companion with original Rocna was not very happy in same conditions.
Thanks a lot for making anchoring safer and easier, impressive.
Regarding patterns, it looks as if virtual volume makes a difference. Volume measured after "enrobing" the anchor with duct tape or similar.
Interesting theory. "Flat" anchors like Danforth/Fortress might break rule.
Really great. And glad to see you back. Thanks Steve. Hope you'll get to compare 30 pounders.
Yes. I appreciate the heck out of your work Steve. And if you did a series on 33lb anchors I’d be all over it. As it stands I can’t make a decision. As people say it comes down to sea bed and your own conditions but that information is not very helpful as it’s not possible to try different combos without spending a small fortune. So those of us in the market for a new anchor just have to go by info such as this.
Thanks for all your hard work, another great suite of testing, cheers
Steve,
Very many thanks once again and Happy New Year to you. As I invested in a 25kg (55lb) Vulcan anchor last year I'm more than pleased to hear your review!
Rob
Thanks Steve for another great video! Thanks for putting in the work out on the water to provide us anchor nerds with good data. I cannot wait to see more Vulcan results. Happy New Year!
Best anchor info there is - thanks for all your hard work :)
Great!
Your work is outstanding and you are even so taking it to a higher level!
As usual Steve, great info, and many, many thanks for your efforts.
As to your holding power vs reset scenario, I think I would put myself in the reset category, as the 'back-down' on an initial anchor set is rarely ever the direction of the inevitable blow that may come into the anchorage. Although many of these anchors broke loose and did reset, I'd love to see a 180 (or even 90 degree) veer test of these same anchors in these same conditions.
Now, if you'll excuse me as I throw my 20KG Rocna up on Craigslist. 🙄
Exactly this! The CQR looks like a front-runner until a 180 deg reset comes into play. The CQR is notorious for fouling when resetting on a 180 deg backing wind.
This is another interesting test, thank you for that. And rightly so that you say that one seabed is not equal to the other. So the choice for a type of anchor should be based on an overall performance. An anchor with good holding power is nice, but when it bends it becomes useless and thus it is unreliable, thus not a good choice. And let me say it is also remarkable that an anchor that is poorly rated here is the anchor of first choice for world sailors. A well-known vloggers couple started with a Mantus, but after a while it was replaced by an overall reliable Rocna.
So, indeed. Look at what you need yourself, your boat anchor combination. Maybe just an anchor that's a little bigger. Choose a strong one without bolts you will lose some day (Mantus)
An anchor is much more than just holding power.
Thanks Steve!
Great work yet again!
Really, really good stuff! Would love to see this same test in a more tropical, sandy, bottom like the Sea of Cortez. I had a Rocna and was disappointed in it, here in the PNW. I'm going to give the Vulcan a try.
thank u steeve
Another great video!!
Happy New Year !
Great vids!
Say, you'll want to test the "Columbia River Rocking-chair Rock Anchors" that are designed to break away from rocks via a tie-strap that's lashed to the front eye of the anchor (the end of the anchor line is tied to the BACK end of the anchor to be pulled "backwards" after the tie-strap breaks after being pulled real hard if the anchor gets stuck in the rocks.)
Surprising results. Never boring. Are you getting another Vulcan in the same size for comparing on other sea floors?
Fortunately, I was able to conduct all of my current tests before returning the anchor. Look for a "47lb Vulcan" video in the near future.
Great test but the #1 popular is the danforth and you never test it ??????????
