Cosa tratta questo video
The owner of an ETAC 38 sailboat replaces a 45-lb CQR plow anchor with a 28-kg FOB HP flat anchor to compare their holding performance in sandy bottoms.16:09 The transition occurs at a deep, mountainous anchorage in Vallee Grand Re, where depths reach 20 meters.3:50 The sailor notes that the CQR’s shank has bent under the strain of 35-knot winds during previous passages, prompting questions about the utility of the CQR’s hinged design.19:51 The crew plans to test the FOB HP’s setting ability by performing a hard reverse maneuver while filming the anchor’s behavior underwater with a GoPro.17:27 The sailor intends to monitor the FOB HP’s performance over several days, specifically during forecasted 20-to-25-knot winds, and will revert to the CQR if the flat anchor fails to hold.18:50 The crew also repairs a damaged mooring line that frayed after slipping from the bow roller during a previous heavy-weather event.4:38
