RESCUE MISSION: NOT the ANCHOR you want - Ep 160
Рет қаралды 14,526
We continue cruising the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean while dealing with vital equipment failure - our water maker. We're sailing from Mallorca to Menorca and encounter a strange package drifting out at sea. While waiting for a replacement part in transit, we encounter a sailboat dragging in the anchorage nearly drifting into the rocks in imminent danger. We rescue the sailboat before learning that they have one of the worst and unreliable anchors (in our opinion) before repairing our freshwater maker onboard.

I found the rebuild ability very helpful knowledge. Still trying to plan / think ahead of when I can go someday. May I ask if you have thought of or would find it helpful to have your original high-pressure pump serviced? Just to have a backup so to speak. Not sure how practical or even cost effective this would be which is why I ask. RV water pumps simply go out over time. Of course, being on land, one is better suited to find a store and simply keep replacing. Not sure how long these boat water makers (and their pumps) last while in good use and overseas as you do.

9:32 Is "after-hours" code for using the water to wash the boat when nobody is about. 😇 Good save with the drifting yacht I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation after you left.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, easy going episode, guys ‼️ 🎉 I find it hard to believe (as you both did) that someone does not recognize their boat has drifted from its anchored spot. Dangerous crew. Nice you were able to rescue them. 😊 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

Holy smokes. I’ve been sailing 50 years. Pretty well educated on the costs of sails, and associated equipment. Decided to look up the cost of an ultra anchor. Roughly $2500 for a 60lb stainless steel anchor is insane. Nice as it looks I’d rather spend that money on running rigging or towards an electric winch or beer.

Unfortunately, you can't buy the technology without the looks and the longevity! In other words you can't buy a galvanised version. Mind you, when I'm anchored up and that 100 knot plus cyclone or hurricane I just beat into port yesterday has been howling all night, and now the swell has gone round and I'm taking it on the nose, and forty footers are dragging anchor past me, that coupla grand is a small price to pay for peace of mind!

My father once told me " If it ain't broke , don't fix it " . If your anchor is holding why replace it . I try to tell my wife things like that . There is a difference between when you need something and just want it . Save your money for something you NEED in the future , just like the water pump you just needed to install 😉

Why didn’t they have a drag alarm set? Mantis anchors are good.
@SailingJibsea 9 ай бұрын
No idea. Mantus’ are similar to the Rocna but we just don’t like the fact that you can unbolt them, nor do we have a need the ability to do that
@brownnoise357 9 ай бұрын
Hi guys, Rocna are definitely good anchors, though I’m a bit wary of the hoop tbh. The anchor I like is a nicely oversized genuine Lewmar Delta and why I like them is why I really don’t like Ultra anchors or the potential risk from hoops of really holding much too well. That at first glance sounds crazy right? But if the anchor holds too well it will not break out Sideways which can be all that saves your boat from Capsizing. Technically a Lewmar Delta is a Rocna without the hoop. I’ve never had a problem setting one that is on the end of all chain to the boat. In a Harbour of Refuge, my boat got hit by one heck of a powerful Tornado on the Starboard side. And the boat was pushed so hard to Port, that the VHF aerial on the top of the Mast was pushed fully under water on the Port Side, and with the port side decks under water, it was on the brink of flooding into the Cockpit. Then a shudder and the boat popped upright and the Anchor Alarm astarted screaming - just in time to save the boat, the Anchor pushed out sideways. Would an Ultra do that? No Chance ! Would a Rocna?maybe, maybe not.with an ultra, imho, I’d have lost the boat. As it was, thanks to the Anchor Alarm and having a Monohull, I was able to fly the Anchor between the boats behind me into clear water and reset the anchor which held solidly through being hit by multiple lesser strength Torpedoes. There are a lot of Fake Delta Anchors out there with poorly hardened and tempered steel, so be sure to get one from a Reputable Genuine Lewmar supplier. Sailing Teulu managed to get a nicely oversized one, and it has held well in 50 plus mph winds . Guess which Anchor I’m sticking with as Main Anchor ? And a Galvanised one, with Galvanised Chain and nothing Stainless Steel.Best Wishes. Bob.👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️
@deerfootnz 9 ай бұрын
Lewmar Delta's are without doubt the worst modern anchors. Any other new generation anchor is serviceable, hoop or no hoop. Most people undersize their anchors, and the sizes that anchor manufacturers recommend are light for serious cruising. If you want to sleep well go heavy. I am a weight weenie in my boat and the Anchor is the one place I go heavy.
@arthur4818 9 ай бұрын
The water maker pump is just a pressure washer pump. You could probably find a pressure washer pump much cheaper, i know people who have built water makers from low-cost store bought pressure washers
@SailingJibsea 9 ай бұрын
Yep you could do that too which is nice because other manufactures don’t allow you to do that. We have a great relationship with SeaWaterPro and enjoy doing business with him

Was that an old life raft? It was hard to see from the video. If it was from 2008 then it was probably thrown over because it was cheaper to buy a new one than repacking old. Hard to make out in the video as there was only a half second clip of it at the stern. I've seen expired 25 man life rafts that were just tossed over in the shipping lanes.
@SailingJibsea 9 ай бұрын
yeah wish we got better footage but had to cut it off quick lol. It was definitely not a life raft, was very small and thin, maybe only 2'x1.5x', looked almost like a crate with a foam layer on top?

Well sad to say but by your opening statement brought to you by patreons you're sadly mistaken it's brought to you by viewers likes subscriptions and comments for you to be such a young channel to come out and straight up asking for patriots you get patrons by viewers likes and comments you lost me forever because you forgot to say it's brought to you by viewers likes and comments to directly bypass that and say it's brought to you by patriots you have a lot to learn
@SailingJibsea 9 ай бұрын
We of course appreciate our viewers watching our content however, what makes the videos possible is the hard work we put in, the countless hours and equipment it takes to produce videos. The additional support that Patreons provide is what actually helps to fund all that. The age of a channel is irrelevant. Creators of all sizes and ages put in work. If KZfaq alone could make it financially feasible, I’m sure that would be very different for all creators on this platform.

You guys are creating great videos. Free for most of us! So Patreons are an essential part of the KZfaq business. (Ignore that guy. He’s obviously having a bad day. Lucky he’s now gone.)
