Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

In video number 108, I tested a 45lb Mantus M2 that had a small but not insignificant flaw in one side of the fluke. My theory was that this flaw was the cause of some performance irregularities.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Yes, some tests are done with a load cell during the pull.

Other tests use predetermined "bollard pull" force of the test boat at various engine r.p.m.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Greetings U_C,

I was unaware that Mantus has made a (another?) change to their M1 shank - thanks for sharing.

On the one hand, I am surprised that those small changes resulted in a difference...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

This is taboo. The exception would be if the manufacturer makes a donation anonymously.

Researchers must remain financially detached from the specimens.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Glad to be of help.

If I were in your shoes, I would ALSO research the testing that has been conducted in your area (Chesapeake) as these seabeds are possibly quite different from mine.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Sam, a "hit" like that would be nice. "How to" videos are not really my thing, but I'll give it some thought.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

I although the Mantus Dinghy anchor shares geometry with the Mantus M1, it is my belief that the DETAILS of these two anchors are different enough to categorize them as completly different designs.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Mike,

In case you missed the beginnings of my "Bruce Anchor Scaling Study", I did begin conducting back-to-back testing of Genuine Bruce anchors from 5kg to 50kg sizes. So far, just the "Soft...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Mike,

I'd love to do a complete series on 100 pounders, but (as you said) money is lacking. Really, most financial advisors would say that my current position is inadequate to support the...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Me too.

I sold the 55lb. Vulcan (too big) that I was borrowing, and used my portion of the proceeds to buy a new 21lb. Vulcan (for comparison to the "20lb" range that I also test). Many thanks to...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

I reviewed my 12lb Mantus M1 test in my "Sandy Mud" seabed. The best holding that I measured was 380lb. The anchor did JUST become completely buried, followed immediately by a full release. This...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

Testing the M1 (and Viking) without rollbars installed is on my long list of "future tests".

Maybe carriage bolts (pointing down) on the M1 will be workable.

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

My guess is, that it is all about the type of sand we have here in the PNW. I'll guess that your sand is more "liquid" (than mine) and "flows" around the anchor more readily.

Maybe a microscope...

Re: Videos of Anchors Setting

I get the same (Mantus dinghy 4X better than 17lb, and 11lb. M1) result in my Sandy Mud seabed.

My hypothesis is that the Dinghy anchor is simply better at diving deep in some seabeds.

It has:...
