    My genuine CQR has 15 LB CQR PAT No 1316946 on one side, and MADE IN SCOTLAND on the other side of the shank. It also has CQR 15 LB on one side of the area just below the hinge. The combination of a CQR main and a steel Danforth secondary is about as good as it gets, although I also carry a fishermans for rocks and heavy weed. The CQR needs a minimum of 4 to 1 all chain and does sometimes take longet to set. CQR copies seem to lack tip weight, so don't perform as well as the genuine Lewmar CQR. I've been there and back with different anchors and if you are buying new ones, do what the RNLI does and buy Lewmar anchors. That's currently the CQR, Claw, (Bruce), Danforth, (Steel and alloy), and Epsilon. For an Admiralty pattern fishermans try Oscilati who make the one carried by the RNLI offshore lifeboats.

    Great test for direct comparison. Would be interesting to see the Knox Anchor tested like this.

    Great info.
    Just come across the Knox anchor, made in my home of Scotland. Wonder if you have seen this. They do claim superior holding capacity...would be good to see an independent report

      A Knox anchor is being shipped to me as I write this. Stay tuned for tests.......

    Hey thanks for doing this video work with use anchors I've been driving around on the beach above sand trying to get an idea how they work I've made of stainless steel anchor just similar copy to your triangles with a hoop on the back for San Francisco bay mud so it' will turn in the mud without coming released on the current change. after making a few of these anchors I have discovered the angle of the dangle of the Danforth anchor is the only angle that dives into the seabed any more/less than a half a degree variance render the anchor usable or not so that copy of a Bruce angle with the shake in a different spot is useless destroy it don't let anyone use it !!
    Thank you for the work Lee shore sailor

    Great practical anchor tests and videos Steve. It looked and sounded like a windy day there, what anchor were you using while you shot the video??

    Great stuff. I will mention you on forums so you get more traffic. You deserve it. Keep up the good work.

    You did a great test, have you tried the delta yet? You mentioned the angle of the shank's that's why I made my own it makes a deference what the angle is, so many have too steep an angle so they don't tend to dig in. What are you going to test next?

    Would you recommend a super sarca or a spade?

  • @williamppnguyen8295
    @williamppnguyen8295 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    use the 2017 sarca anchor

    The anchor you are calling a Danforth is not a genuine Danforth. It’s a Danforth “type” anchor. The flukes on a real Danforth nearest the stock have alternating flattened surfaces. Look at the anchor you say is a copy at how one side on the inside of each fluke is turned up and the other is turned down. There is good reason for that. I know why. Can you figure out why it’s designed that way? The other anchor you are calling a Danforth is very dangerous. Think of different types of holding ground and swinging 180 degrees with wind and current. That anchor was off the boat and in the dumpster as soon as I got to town.

      I see I commented before about why the one anchor is not a Danforth. Many of these Danforth type anchors have the parallel flat angled sides inside the flukes allowing a rock to jam between them preventing the anchor resetting when the boat swings around. Once the rock was jammed between the flukes so hard it took a 5 lb. mail to break it out. These anchors are dangerous. After a 10 year circumnavigation and 45 years of commercial fishing in Alaska I’d rather listen to anchoring stories than tell them.

    the mantus cpies the sarca and the sarca is much better

      No It doesn't. Do a google image search. They both have flukes and shanks. That's it.
      Try a Mantus. I have switched all my anchors to Mantus. They set so well you can set it in your lawn! I have done that. My 17lb sets in about 18" in my back yard lawn. No Chain all rode pulled form about 20' from my waist.
