Always an interesting breakdown of why an anchor does or does not work well. Thanks.

Thanks for another great video Steve. I bought a French boat a few years ago and in it I found a couple of Danforth look alikes except they were very heavily constructed compared to the Danforths we are familiar with. Would you like one if I can get it to PT ( I’m in Canada)?

I love all of the strange anchors you have collected over the years, would love to see a bulwagga at some point

When are you going to test the Ultra Marine anchor?

Novel and weird, you found some. Wondering about the ss folding Northill that is relatively common here? Having a 100# steel fisherman on deck. Great testing.

Wouldn’t both of those anchors set better if they were connected to floating rope creating an angle to the boat rather than dragging a chain which doesn’t lift the anchor top high enough for the fluke to set? Or have I got it backwards?

Thinking the same. I have the same fisherman he used and I only use it as a stern anchor when needed but have had great experience with it on rode and have never used it with chain which in this video I think the chain is stopping it from getting the right tight catenary angle to be effective in digging. It's not meant to lie that flat and pull flat but pull with a bit of angle that you get with a rode.

I love my 10 lb folding fisherman anchor. I have a small Dory so I really appreciate the compact folded shape. It does seem to hold my light small boat. How much does the chain you use weigh? Is the holding force equal to the chain plus anchor weight for these 2 anchors?

Hi Steve, great videos. Been researching anchors and I have spent a couple of days looking at many of your videos. I work for a fishing company up in Nova Scotia, would you be interested in having a chat, I am looking to try out some testing of my own.
