Mark got a job? 😂

So you are telling me size matters?

Why does no one mentions the length of the fender why ? Please help me out

Thanks for the helpful video, the ladder/boat at the 0:59 point was my old boat lol

Galvanized will put rust all over the front of your boat.

How do yo repair an on platform latter if one of the screws are loose

thanks for the vid, very useful.

You know, boat manufacturers might want to think about making anchor boxes that accommodate the appropriate anchor.

If chain or any other material/product is listed in imperial, do not use it. Imperial measurement is made to a lower quality than metric.

Rocna anchor? Mantus? Manson? Ultra anchor?

One at home...Love it!

If I don’t have a windless and I’m hand hauling this up, but I want a ton of chain just for peace of mind do I just use whatever will fit into my chain locker ?

Not complicated at all ; )

what is the best anchor for rocky bottoms like Lake Erie Michigan or any of the Michigan Lakes?

Great video, very helpful, thank you!

I keep a danforth\fluke hooked up to my anchor rode In the locker for emergency’s since it fits nicely in there. If I’m anchoring out for the night I change over to a 22lb delta plow for my 28 foot sailboat which I keep in the cockpit locker. Wish there was room to put in a bow roller but there isn’t so this will do until I upgrade to a larger boat.

We have a Bruce for tidal anchoring and a massive fortress for storms.... there’s no perfect single design anchor in my opinion.

The holding power of the best of the featured anchors is about 5-8 times its own weight. The holding on new generation anchors ranges through to 40 times own weight (Rocna, Knox etc). That means about 6 times the holding to any you showed. Would be a more complete review with some of them included.

thanks for sharing~

What knot is used to secure the fender itself to the line?

Love your reviews! Would love to send you some of our Flexifabrics products to review!

How much for 1 fender

Great info, just wish the presenter wasn't reading the whole thing off obvious cue cards/prompter.

i buyed an amzn.to/2ZtsCYv 3 years ago used every week and no problems with an rocna anchor its works perfect i hope you have something on this

These videos give me strange fuzzy feelings, similar to nostalgia or deja Vu.

👍Terrific info. Thank you. 💝

How to compute anchor chain weight?

What do you recommend for a 14' Jon Boat ? I just did a boat wrap on her and dont want to scratch wrap ..

*Works perfectly❅>**share4.photo/cStepStool?ㅈ ** for what I need to reach around the house. Folds nicely and stores easily behind a door.*

New old 1989 sea ray owner , great video, I have a Muir winch that overruns the chain , do I have the wrong chain ? Any help would be appreciated

CQR original made in Scotland is the best for any situation, only using chain. 44 yeras sailing, never ever dragging. Second is the Bruce original made in England also with chain. My sugestion for a serious sailors, never mix chain and line, big mistake, always swivel.

I wish we would have watched this before choosing our anchor! In a couple weeks are posting our video about the time that we had to ABANDON the boat anchor! Sailing has been a huge learning curve so far as we start our journey around the world and videos like this are a great help!

Use mother in law.....

Don't use a stainless steel anchor. Ever! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZlopquQzNvJlas.html

I can make this easy. Fortress in mud, spade (Rocna, Mantus, Manson Supreme) everywhere else.

"Girth" is not the diameter. It's the circumference.

Great video! Liked and subscribed!

How to make Anchor Mantus Marine DIY autocad .dxf bonaparte-eu.blogspot.si/2017/11/anchor-mantus-marine.html

I have had three sailboats, from 20 to 33 feet, in California. The anchorages I go to at Catalina Island are all nice mud/sand, so I love the Fortress or Guardian "Danforth" style anchors. I also use about twice the length of my boat in chain attached to a three-strand line. For the nice conditions at Catalina this is sweet. It holds great, doesn't swing much, and weighs little when you are trying to heave it all back on the boat and go home. Test show that the Fortress holds better than the Guardian. In my experience (looking at the anchors on SCUBA), it is the milling to sharpen the fluke that really makes the difference. According to the folks at Fortress/Guardian, this is the case. So I sharpened my Guardian anchors (by hand, with a file--pretty easy since they are aluminim) and they held great. Next time (and I am thinking of buying another boat) I would likely just spend the extra money and get the Fortress anchor, which is very pretty and already sharp. So, actually, the "Danforth" you have in your video looks unlikely to me, with those big, blunt ends that won't dig in like a nice sharp point. Good sailing! Russ

cqr swivel is so it sets, without the swivel. it won't. had to be added to the design. it has nothing to do with it after its set.

For a 14' aluminum boat, would you still suggest 3 fenders or using the 1 fender/10' rule would 2 be sufficient?

We have anchors that will work for most ANY watercraft.

What would be most recommended for weedy bottoms?

Hi, great video. I have a question: Which platform style ladder would work with this type of swim step? The link has a photo of the steps I have on my boat,any help is appreciated!
