    Mr Igor - I have huge respect for you. So many useful videos you have made and shared. Just thank you so so very much. Thanks to your videos so many people will have good times and avoid problems. Just thank you so much! Maybe too detailed and boring for many but I would be interested in Lagoon 42 hulls under water, engines, water maker, electrical systems etc maintenance and service guides / videos (what and when to do, and cost). Thank you so much!

      Thanks 🙏 42 is similar to 46. If I sail good 42 again might film it 👍

    14:46 Bugel anchor, the father of all new generation anchors. Very good one!!! Saved my boat a couple of times

    Awesome video! All scenarios with different boat configurations, weight, bottoms... One stop video for all type of boat owners! Have a couple of people I will share.
    Almost no one has this, other than the typical drawings we draw... Thanks!

    Delta anchors and similar of that generation are plow anchors which has a weakness as we know from farming in that it just makes a furrow and doesn't dig as well down, compared to the new spade anchors, which like a spade digs down deep. From what I've seen Ultra, Rocna and Mantus spade anchors always comes out well in tests. Also, with the new anchors having anti-roll bar, one can eliminate swivels which is a weak point, and use only a shackle instead.

    The rule is minimum 3 times the height, which is deep+height of the bow roller. If you are in 3m of water and 2m of freeboard, then you need to put minimum (3+2) x 3 m of chain. Which is 15m and not 9. And this is with no wind.
    The « good » rule is height (depth of the water+heught of the bow roller) x force of the wind in Beaufort.
    3m of water, 2m of freeboard, if you expect to stay in a little stormy weather, then (3+2) x 8 = 40 m of chain. And then you add the snubber…

    You're reading my mind. A few days ago I was thinking of looking on the internet how the anchor behaves in certain situations and what happens when it is dropped! And the answer arrived as ordered. THANK YOU!

    Great video, lots of good visuals to help people conceptualize how their anchors are behaving. The only thing that is missing, unless I missed it, is scope ratios. You sort of showed the principle and covered how too much or too little can be bad, but actual ratios like 7:1[considered best, but selfish], 5:1[generally accepted as safe and not too selfish] or 3:1[it better be very heavy and rated for a cargo vessel😂 If they hit you, it's always their fault] would have been amazing. You may still be able to edit the video in youtube to show viewers what the ratio was for each of your examples to solidify the concept. Many mathematically challenged individuals could do with studying scope ratio.

    I tend to leave my navigational instruments turned on during the night, so that if the boat starts dragging, the depth sounder will turn on the alarm and wake me up when the boat is in less than 5 meters of water. This is more of a secondary precaution. The primary precaution should always be quality anchoring.

    Last year I've see plenty of requests (leaflets) not to use the anchors, but to use a buoy to protect the bottom. Not sure if it's more common generally, I understand that around national parks (Kornati)

    • @IgorStropnik
      @IgorStropnik  7 місяців тому +2

      Still a big lack of buoys. There should be plenty with online reservations.

    Quite a lengthy video but informative. I skipped some stuff so I don't know if you mentioned the combination of an anchor and tieing to the shore, which solves some issues in case the wind turns. The last situation you mentioned might be problematic (where you tied the anchor). In case you need to leave quickly there might be a problem since you cannot just pull the anchor up. But anyway I thing you showed some principles to get creative with anchoring.

    • @IgorStropnik
      @IgorStropnik  7 місяців тому +1

      There is much more to talk about anchoring. This video is mostly to understand what is happening underwater.

    Thanks for making this full movie length explanation on anchors and how we should use them.⚓
    Apart from the sticker/stamp on the anchors (which may fall off with time), can we find the specs carved into the anchors?

    Igor, last season I noticed 1/3 of the charter guests anchored while driving forward. Do you have any explanation why they would do that? Doesn't make sense to me, but there must be a reason

    Dear Igor, very good video!!!
    But you can have a series of videos,
    each one for a different type of anchor and then in the comments section,
    each and every one of us, can write his experiences and thoughts for the type of anchor the video is about.....
    What do you say?
