Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owners of the catamaran Mistertong, Djé and Nad, decide to extend their anchor rode after experiencing dragging in 35- to 41-knot gusts at Malendure, Guadeloupe.22:18 The vessel currently carries 50 meters of 12mm chain, which provides insufficient scope in the 10- to 15-meter depths common in the area.23:49 During a period of high wind, the boat dragged its anchor, forcing the crew to re-anchor multiple times in deep, volcanic-sand bottoms.23:14 To improve holding and shock absorption, the crew plans to splice 30 meters of 22mm nylon anchor rode (câblot) to their existing chain, creating a total 80-meter rode.32:04 They intend to use this setup in conjunction with their existing 22mm polyamide snubber.31:51 The crew emphasizes that while their current anchor set well in 12 meters of water, the limited length of chain at depth leaves little margin for safety during strong wind events.28:24 They perform the splice themselves to ensure the vessel is better prepared for the upcoming hurricane season.33:30
