Cosa tratta questo video

The 10kg Lewmar Claw anchor, a common cast-steel copy of the original Bruce design, demonstrates poor performance across multiple seabed types.0:13 Compared to genuine forged Bruce anchors, the Claw features blunt leading edges on the flukes and wings, which hinder penetration.1:25 In sandy mud, the anchor fails to set during reset testing, producing only 200 pounds of holding power, and performs inconsistently during winch tests by rolling onto its side or inverting.4:14 In clean, loose sand, it achieves the lowest holding power of any anchor in the 20-pound range tested, dragging at 215 pounds of pull.9:12 While it holds 315 pounds in soft mud at Scow Bay and resists over 1,000 pounds of thrust during a high-speed straight-line pull, it remains deficient in most conditions.6:22 The anchor scores highly for price, galvanizing, and structural strength, but receives consistently low marks for performance.10:52 Genuine Bruce anchors provide superior holding power and penetration due to their sharper, more refined fluke geometry.1:24
