Cosa tratta questo video
The Rocna MKII anchor features a solid, non-hollow roll bar and a sculpted shank with a sharpened leading edge, design changes intended to prevent seabed clogging and improve resetting performance compared to the original Mark I. The MKII weighs 23 pounds, including a weighted "chin" under the toe that increases tip weight to 33% of the total mass.0:30 In sandy mud test conditions, the MKII consistently resets and buries itself, even when subjected to 1,000-pound load bursts.16:56 Unlike the hollow-tube Mark I, which frequently fouls with mud and suffers from internal corrosion, the solid construction of the MKII allows for easier maintenance and potential regalvanizing.9:31 While the chin design can cause the anchor to slide briefly in an upright position under extremely short scope, it does not impede performance at standard 5:1 scope.8:38 The MKII demonstrates superior flow-through characteristics in dense substrate, effectively clearing mud while remaining buried under high loads.19:02
