Steve Goodwin tests the setting performance of a Spade anchor in 27 feet of water in Admiralty Inlet, Washington.0:06 With wind speeds fluctuating between 18 and 20 knots, the boat drifts down onto the test site to allow the wind to set the anchor naturally rather than using the engine.0:02 The chain remains attached to a chain stopper hook, and the lack of tension in the rode suggests the anchor may only be partially set.1:46 The test also observes the boat's tendency to yaw at anchor, noting that the position of the dinghy—whether stored in davits or on the house—acts as a riding sail to influence windage aft.2:47 During the transit across the inlet, the boat maintains a close reach at 5 knots under a double-reefed main and storm jib, demonstrating the tender handling characteristics of the Calvin design in 25-knot winds.4:57
