What this video covers
New marine hardware showcased at the 2025 Amsterdam marine industry show focuses on increasing safety and data-driven decision-making for cruisers. AnchorPlex offers a modular, aluminum-anodized anchor designed for easy assembly and compact storage, weighing 13.7 kilograms as a backup option.1:19 Mantus introduced the M3 chain hook, which features a simplified snap-on design intended to improve ease of use over previous rubber-strap models.3:57 Cyclops Marine provides wireless load sensors that monitor rig tension and fatigue cycles, streaming data to boat instruments or smartphones to assist with rig tuning and reefing decisions.5:04 Vision Anchor’s smart buoy tracks the physical position of the anchor rather than the boat, utilizing a Dyneema trip line and an integrated alarm to alert users if the anchor drags or moves outside a set radius.11:43 PropSpeed continues to iterate on foul-release coatings to prevent marine growth and structural failure.14:17 These technologies shift sailing from intuitive, feel-based operation toward quantified, data-backed monitoring of rig and ground tackle performance.
