Qué cubre este vídeo

A 20-lb high-tensile Danforth and a 10-lb Fortress FX-16 anchor undergo comparative holding power tests in soft mud, loose sand, and sandy mud at Scow Bay.0:45 Testing uses a 5:1 scope with 12 feet of chain on a mostly rope rode in 25 to 33 feet of water.3:59 The Danforth consistently outperforms the Fortress, which provides approximately 70% to 80% of the Danforth’s holding power across all tested seabeds.8:10 The Fortress FX-16 fails to set in sandy mud at a 5:1 scope but performs reliably when the scope increases to 6:1.19:06 The Fortress’s wider shank, required for aluminum structural integrity, hinders deep penetration compared to the steel Danforth.21:41 The 45-degree "soft mud" shank setting on the Fortress proves ineffective in the tested mud conditions, failing to develop significant holding power.11:15 The Danforth remains a superior performer for straight-line holding, while the Fortress offers weight advantages for manual deployment and storage.21:59
