The crew of the 45-ft catamaran *Supernova* replaces their one-year-old galvanized anchor chain and anchor with a stainless steel Ultra anchor and Chromox chain to address persistent rust, poor chain-stacking in the locker, and low working load limits.31:59 During a passage from the British Virgin Islands to St. Martin, the crew encounters rough conditions and head-on trade winds, necessitating a slow, motor-sailing transit.0:35 Upon arrival, they retrieve the new gear via dinghy and perform a full system overhaul.2:47 This process includes cleaning the anchor locker, removing a water-trapping rubber mat, and installing a magnet for a chain counter using epoxy.20:40 To prevent cross-contamination of rust, they remove all old chain and scrub the locker thoroughly.19:52 The crew also installs an Ultra anchor ring for added weight during storms and utilizes a dedicated anchor hook to secure the gear when not in use.11:27 They conclude the project by retrieving their old anchor from the seabed using underwater scooters.27:04
