VOILIER ODIN · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

To improve the holding performance of a CQR anchor, the owner of the boat Odin modifies the anchor by welding a 12-centimeter steel rock point to the tip of the fluke.16:46 The modification aims to force the anchor to engage with the seabed immediately upon contact, preventing the common tendency of CQR anchors to skate or drag before setting.11:18 The owner reports that this technique, previously tested on a smaller vessel, significantly improves reliability in sandy bottoms without the need for expensive modern anchor replacements.14:05 The process involves grinding the anchor surface to bare metal, arc-welding the steel point on both sides, and smoothing the weld with a grinder for a finished appearance.15:41 Beyond ground tackle, the refit includes installing a new boarding step, painting the boat's name, and cleaning the 105-liter water tank.0:34 The owner also fabricates custom interior storage pockets and installs thermal reflective material to manage cabin temperature.4:52 Welding a steel point to a CQR anchor fluke forces the tip into the seabed, effectively preventing the anchor from dragging during the initial set.16:52
