Qué cubre este vídeo
Steve Goodwin tests a 48-pound Super Sarca No.0:07 6 anchor by covering its factory-drilled fluke holes with heavy aluminum self-adhesive tape.0:33 The test aims to determine if blocking these holes causes mud accumulation and subsequent anchor failure during reset.0:42 During five trials in the local seabed, the anchor lands upright and achieves an instantaneous initial set.0:51 When subjected to 180-degree reversals at 3.5 knots, the anchor consistently resets, producing a sharp lurch as it engages.1:37 Despite the blocked holes, the anchor sheds mud effectively and maintains its holding power throughout all five tests.1:57 The design demonstrates high reliability in this specific substrate, suggesting that fluke holes are not required for performance in these conditions.2:18 The Super Sarca No. 6 features heavy scantlings and provides sufficient holding capacity for a 15,000-pound vessel.0:59
