Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

I agree. Keep the anchor thread going. The photos are great. Nolex is doing a great job. He is just laying out the info and showing how he interprets it. We can interpret it however we want. Thanks...

Your Mermaid may have some problems with that. In fact, I'm betting you are in big trouble! :whistling:

This happens quite often when people anchor near Catalina Island (off California) in dense kelp. They may try to hit sand patch but end up hooking in kelp which will hold the boat even when under...

Is this making anyone feeling more suspicious of boats around them? LOL!

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

That's a frightening pic of the open swivel. I'm sure most skippers aren't happy to be told about their bad anchoring but pics don't lie.

Hopefully, they did a better job the next time they...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

It's for the boat where nothing is single use. That anchor doubles as an axe :viking:

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting

I am so sorry too. I know I appreciate this thread and the photos. There are other owners with different anchors sharing photos too.

It is insulting to think we can't evaluate the posts. You guys...

+1 it's not fun being in crowded anchorages but once in a while I can't avoid it. Cabo San Lucas in Mexico has many cruise ships that come in quite close (there is a short shelf then gets deep). I...

Sandy Feet. Those are amazing photos. The anchor doesn't even look like its underwater. The water must be crystal clear. 🌊

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

This thread has been so informative...and costly. I know I am looking more seriously at the new gen anchors. Seeing results is much more convincing. They still need to give you a commission!

+1 I am totally captivated by this thread. Especially, the photos by NornaBiron. I wonder how many splashes you could hear of sailors going down to take a look at their anchors after those photos!...

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Yeah, but an anchorholic will still be there when the wind hits the fan! I'd rather be behind/next to an anchorholic than the other kind!

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

Wow-it's always surprising when someone has no clue they are dragging. Until they hit the beach or the rocks.

Noelex

Guess you will have to follow this boat to a few other anchorages to get more results. Just stay upwind, in case 😎

Re: Photos of Anchors Setting.

I agree that this thread has been very informative. We spent years at anchor with our Delta (definitely sized up from what they suggest) on chain & bridle when winds predicted. We also back down so...
