Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Luke and Adam replace their 43-year-old CQR anchor with a new Rocna 15 to improve holding performance in varied seabed conditions.7:12 The original CQR frequently dragged in hard sand and mud, prompting the upgrade.8:00 Because the boat’s bow design lacks a flat mounting surface, the installation requires fabricating a custom hardwood block to serve as a base for the new bow roller.10:53 The crew cuts the existing bow fitting flush, drills through the deck, and through-bolts the new assembly with sealant and double nuts to ensure structural integrity.19:04 After completing the installation, they test the Rocna 15 in three meters of water with 14 meters of chain.23:19 The anchor sets immediately in soft mud, holding firm under significant reverse thrust.24:28 The project concludes with the old CQR relegated to a spare anchor.20:35 Upgrading to modern anchor technology significantly increases holding power and confidence when anchoring in soft substrates.
