Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

Nope Downunder - you are not seeing things, I saw that post/photo as well, now it is gone? Wonder why?

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

What I was alluding to was the appearance of an actual separation of the metal, a tearing at what may be a weld line. That is way more than bent, look closely at the photo - you will see the metal...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

That is not bent! That appears to have broken/snapped along possibly a weld line? But it aint bent!

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

At the risk of torturing the language, I wasn't being not nice. I acknowledged the work Noelex had chosen to undertake. I simply said that I did not understand why he would strongly denigrate an...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

For the second time in a matter of hours. I DO NOT SELL SARCAS. NEVER HAVE. I trust that is clear now.
Further I have never denigrated Noelex for what he has done, to the contrary I have...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

NO. No I don't. I reject however Noelex making comments about anchors he has never seen in use. Particularly in the face of Panope's excellent videos showing the Sarac Excel to be better than many...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

Perhaps it would be somewhat more accurate to say:
best performing convex plow anchors - that i have used/seen in action
Can I also ask why you persist in trying to identify all non roll bar sugar...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

Sorry, gotta a disagree, if your only knowledge is a photo on the internet, or even looking at one hanging on a boat, I believe you would do well to hold an opinion until you have seen it in use,...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

And this is my point. You have seen an excel, never seen it being used, never used it yourself and never photographed it, and there is a world of objective evidence including Panopes videos and...

And I did that when you started commenting on anchors you had never photographed, or indeed seen photographed and leaped to conclusions based on what you thought they looked like. The ongoing its a...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Could I respectfully request that you do not make broad generalisations like that. Not all convex anchors are ploughs, not all convex anchors behave identically any more than all scoop anchors do. ...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Yes the plow anchors do probably have that tendency, though not having tested them all I can't say with conviction that that is the case. Its why I dont own a plow anchor.

Me too. Manson is an excellent reputable company and I like the concept of the boss, how is it performing so far.

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Or the manson website or the spade website or the rocna website. There are videos on the various sites, in same cases contacted by independent certified testing agencies.

For the record the following are what I know regarding Manufacturers and certification. This is not an exclusive list, only what I know, there may very well be many many more.

So true, so if a manufacturer can't get that then they definitely need to be avoided. :thumb:

If you are referring to me would be so kind as to point me to the posts where I have done that? If not referring to me then - as you were.

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

All that does is indicate that Kobra/Delta anchors share similar characteristics, two of the non sugar scoop roll bar anchors on the market. It does not and indeed cannot be extrapolated to prove or...

I dont sell them, but nevertheless you think I should spend time and money organising a wide ranging photo shoot. :confused:

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

My Convex anchor doesn't take that long to set. I suppose this is because its not a plough (australian spelling) - a plough is something designed to lift the earth up and move it to one side, as an...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

What was interesting was that the swivel seemed to have survived, I wondered if it might have let go first, but from your photo it looks okay? But it might have looked different in reality? did you...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Sarca (Excel) should ship there no problem. And Mantus apparently work okay without the roll bar so that be an option as well, but maybe talk to greg at MAntus - see what he thinks?

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

This has always been my concern with sugar scoop anchors. If they come out as a ball of mud, they have little chance of resetting. Ever. Maybe its why the first two roll bar anchors weren't scoops.
