Well done ! Good video. Trouble with boating is that everyone's an expert ! I spent years with my sons fishing from a Sea-Hog in the Menai Straits etc but dealing with an inflatable is better in some ways (Less resistance to the tide) and worse in others (Lower to the water, no really secure attachment points and much more vulnerable to careless damage). Long as everyone comes home safe-that's a win in my view.
Great instructional video - I had no idea about anchoring before I watched this. Very helpful for newbie inflatable boaters. An anchor makes a lot of sense! Subscribed!
The rule of thumb that you mentioned 3*depth is for chain only. it is 5*depth for rope+chain and 10*depth for rope only. and the rope material ideally must be sinking, not floating. a floating anchor line will get tangled in your underwater running gear. That's why nylon is the preferred anchor line. It sinks. It also stretches and reduces the shock from waves and wakes.
bun here i followed your info , also fitted a rope roller and big cleat like on the Hydrus looking forward , to using it use a ikea bad for my droge from my kayak days works well for me put a few drill holes in the base works or me
Good video for the beginner, thanks. Just one point, from experience I believe it's advisable to start the engine before weighing anchor. If you have problems starting up you will have to go through the whole process again (or run onto the rocks!)
Thanks mate, this is super helpful. Say you were getting out of the boat for diving/spearfishing and leaving it unattended within a swimmable distance in 30 - 50 ft of water. Would you change the setup in any way? I have a 3.5m sib and have opted for a 3.5KG bruce and 6m chain to beef your setup up a bit. Curious to know how/if you'd change your setup for this use case?
I use 2kg a 5m of chain for everything .. if think 3.5kg be fine in the shallows but I would wanna try pulling that out of the mud or sand at any depth . Thanks for the feed back
Great video thanks, I have a similar length inflatable and visiting Lake Windermere in the lake district which is obviously non tidal but it can get very windy across the lake. I don't want to drift when I stop so how would I anchor please?
You can anchor the same way but has its not tidel you can just tie off on the tope rope band if you hand one or front handle .. you will still need a min 1.5kg grap and 2x the depth min
Good question .. it's only happened to me once.. 99% of the time it's the chain that snags up and not the anchor you do have to cut loose and cut your losses .. but the best way to avoid that is make sure you don't drag and have enough rope out to save dragging into a snag
Hi. Thanks for this. I need 2get a new anchor cos the 0.7kg grapple hook that came with the boat honwave t38 didn't work 4me yest. Would u recommend the 2kg Bruce? Also, what drinks holder ru using I could do with a couple? Many thanks... jj
Do you find it safe anchoring this boat in very strong tides or does the bow start to dip into the water? Here in Poole Harbour the tides are so strong the mooring buoys get submerged! 😂
Hiya it's not actually an anti slip is it's just rubber matting, protection for the air deck www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stud-Penny-Coin-Rubber-Flooring-Matting-for-Garage-Van-Car-Roll-Mat-/332514264053?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Really depends if you want a light weight or can manage something a little heavier.. 3.8 will be at the peak of a one man launching unless on a trailer

I used to use the same or a bag for life on the kayaks does the job
Very useful video thanks for sharing.
Nice trip , i would love to watch you fishing from lyme Regis 😊 it would be fun over there and join you with my sib 😜

Goes without saying.. thought I mentioned that but yea 100%
The most important-how do you connect the anchor to the boat? Or the rope is just laying in the bucket?

Can you show how the Bow line is attached please, Good video thank you. We have similar sib Excel 395 .

Please see this video
I also have the 50m rope and also doubt the screwfix/toolstation claim of length 😂
Most important thing when retrieving the anchor in the Bristol Channel is start the engine first!
Absolutely..
Cracking video
A really informative video! Where do you launch in Porthcawl?
Thank you ... Yea porthcawl Newton beach
Hi mate great video, what jacket you wearing.I like it.👍
Helly Hansan inshore Salt .. they have a few different designs look out for the sales
Really good video..can I ask where you got the black tow rope from?
Thanks...
Should be a link in the description
Great advice!
Probably a silly question, but what happens if the anchor gets caught on a rock/reef and you cant pull it up as shown in the video?
Good question .. it's only happened to me once.. 99% of the time it's the chain that snags up and not the anchor you do have to cut loose and cut your losses .. but the best way to avoid that is make sure you don't drag and have enough rope out to save dragging into a snag

2kg Bruce or 2.5kg grap with 4m of 8m chain you should be fine .. min 3x depth for rope
The railblaza cup holder is a must lol
I don’t even use a anchor tho as it takes to long to get it back up tho just float woth the waves fosh them move on again tho
Thanku!
What size chain were you using there please? Not the length but the link thickness.
6mm or 8mm close link
Thanks.
Love the video to mind
Do you find it safe anchoring this boat in very strong tides or does the bow start to dip into the water? Here in Poole Harbour the tides are so strong the mooring buoys get submerged! 😂
We do get some big tides in the channel.. but I do use an anchor brace to take the strain off the boat .. check out my how to anchor video
what is tha antislippery floor you got there how can i find one ?
Hiya it's not actually an anti slip is it's just rubber matting, protection for the air deck

@@sibfishingadventuresuk1558 thanks alot. any other tips to make my honwave t32 more stable so i can stand up on it easier ?
I'd love to say yes but unfortunately I didn't have my t32-ie3 for longer than 1month due to that. Hope your find a good safe solution
@@giannosmetallinos7684 yes, buy a T35 or a T40 with an aluminium floor.
How heavy is the anchor u use please
2kg Bruce
Do fishing hooks not puncture these sibs?
They can do yes if your not careful
Bonjour combien de poids voiture ancré ⚓
