А если тащить кверху лапой на глубине, например по колено, а лучше глубже. Думаю что встречный поток поднимет лапу и она перевернется и встанет как надо...опыт считаю поставлен неверно.
Never had an issue with my Bruce of that size, more chain needed for a true test. My boat held in shallow water of 0.75m as a huge swell from a passenger fast cat funnelled into the bay pitching the bow up at least 1.5 m, anchor held fast as boat whipped and rolled in and out on the surf for several minutes. Totally awesome anchors for small craft my 7m boat 1.5 tonne approx.
@@SOLDOZER Trust me. Rigged the way it is in the video, if it ever gets stuck in rocks or tree snags you will never get it back. Good chance you will never get it to bite at all. This is a different anchor but the principal is the same regardless of small boat anchoring. I use the same anchor shown on a 20' 4300 pound boat. ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxotG7NNKBEGV4XWm09U_ei-JtVZcxbTxg?si=7j1_H-IlpNZJyHyJ
Not sure what you mean, he is clearly dragging it at a little above knee height less than two foot and the length of chain is about 12 feet so he is dragging that anchor at about a 6 to 1 ratio at least if not a 7 to one ratio. The problem is small Bruce anchors and their copies perform very poorly in hard sand and have low holding power in most substrates even when they do dig in unless they weigh 35kg or more (they need to be very heavy to not pull out, this is why ships love Bruce anchors but small boat users find them to be a poor quality anchor). Even top quality anchors like mantus perform not so good if they weigh less than say 10 kg but better than a Bruce.
@@MrAthlon4800 It looks like a miniature version of the Bruce SS offshore anchor. Need to be much heavier and underwater. "Ratio" is indeed not the best advice here, but the chain is extremely short again indeed. That is the way to break out and weigh the anchor.
I tested Bruce many times, and in all anchor test at 2-4 meter deep water, the Bruce is actually "grabbing" or starting to "BITE" at a very steep rode - already at Scope 2,5:1 it STARTS to "bite". And at 3:1 it is actually holding a little. The Bruce anchor is actually one of the anchors that are BEST at "bitng" at very steep scope.
Come on my dude your setting up to fail. First of all your chain is rigged wrong that hole on the ass end is where your chain is supposed to be connected too, the hole on the shaft is where you use a "breakaway" link some folks use 100lb mono fishing line I just use a couple of cable ties so when you get stuck the chain breaks away and you recover the anchor ass end first. Bruce anchors need I think it's a minimum of 10ft water so they right themselves so when they hit the bottom they dig in.
I think if it was fully submerged it would flip over faster because of the wings. The top wing is doing nothing in the air.

ok, so it's not the best sand anchor .. that's why you carry different types
Nobody carries differerent types.
It is about the best sand anchor.
your chain needs to be attached at the front and tied to the back for break away. The anchor type has a tendency to self right when rigged correctly.
Nope. Thats for lunch anchoring.

You need 5 to 1 scoop for a Bruce , this is ridicules , dragging an Anchor in the sand .

Sure as hell not rigging my anchor to breakaway while Im sleeping unless I want to end up on the rocks.
never had an issued with my bruce anchor.
Not a genuine Bruce I suspect.
Nope…...
doesnt look like an original bruce. the fake ones are shit.
That was ridicules!
You haven’t got it setup right for a start the chain needs fixing to the other hole and then tying on to the hole you have it in at the moment.
you don't need that if you're anchoring in sand and for rocks you wouldn't really use a bruce anchor
You really going to rig your anchor to breakaway in a 35 knot storm and go to bed?? LOL
