Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the 50-ton, 88-foot vessel Yabá tests the holding power of three different anchor styles in sandy seabed conditions to prepare for coastal cruising in Brazil.11:47 Using a plotter to track position and a diver to observe performance, they engage the engine in reverse at 1,000 and 1,500 RPM to simulate storm loads.15:42 Both a Mexican-style anchor and a traditional Kedge anchor drag significantly under tension, as the spade angles fail to dig deep into the substrate.9:04 The crew concludes that these spare anchors require modifications to the spade geometry or replacement with more reliable designs.9:13 Additionally, the crew installs a Mantis swivel on their primary Bruce anchor to prevent chain twisting, which previously caused the chain to slip on the windlass gypsy.22:28 The new swivel is rated to 3.2 tons, exceeding the breaking strength of the chain.22:56 Testing confirms the Bruce anchor holds firmly under high reverse thrust, and the swivel rotates freely under tension.29:00 Testing ground tackle under load reveals the specific limitations of spare anchors and ensures the primary system remains reliable.
