Ryan and Kelsey upgrade their ground tackle for a Hallberg-Rassy, installing a 46-pound stainless steel Ultra Anchor by Ultramarine as their primary bower.0:28 They selected this model for its self-righting, lead-filled tip and its ability to fit the existing bow roller without modification.0:58 The primary anchor connects to an Ultra Swivel to prevent the rotation issues they experienced with their previous CQR anchor.2:12 For hurricane-season cruising in the Caribbean, they purchased a 99-pound Spade S180 anchor, nicknamed Thor, which features a detachable shank for easier cabin stowage.2:39 The current ground tackle setup includes 110 feet of 5/16-inch chain operated by a manual Lowfrans windlass, with plans to increase the chain length to 250 feet.3:46 They also intend to add a snubber to absorb shock loads on the all-chain rode.4:25 The crew prioritizes manual equipment to avoid potential electrical failures associated with powered windlasses.3:52
