What this video covers
Sven Yrvind installs a 10-kilogram SPADE anchor and 10 kilograms of chain aboard his boat, prioritizing a compact, modular setup.▶ 0:36 He secures the anchor shackle using a custom-fabricated Dyneema loop, which he stiffens with epoxy and shapes into a point to facilitate threading through the shackle eye.▶ 1:06 The installation requires careful positioning to accommodate the bolts for a ground plate, which features holes spaced 10 centimeters center-to-center.▶ 4:01 Yrvind notes that the SPADE anchor’s two-part design allows for storage in tight spaces, a necessity given the limited room near the ground plate wiring.▶ 0:49 He also carries a 6-kilogram anchor as a secondary option.▶ 4:51 The process involves creating a template for the ground plate and drilling mounting holes, a task complicated by the existing layout of the boat's interior and wiring.▶ 5:59
