Yeh not cheap a 12 Kg is £1,222 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Galvanised steel plough anchor £80 to £200 and don't forget the swivel £383 for 6mm chain £532 for 10mm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stainless thread are notorious for shaking loose. High strength thread lock is a must-have. For removal, heat to 120 C (or a bit more) to soften the adhesive.
Beautiful anchor! I’d be worried about someone knocking it off! Glad your swivel has at least Allen screws to make it harder, but I’d prefer to use theft proof screws instead. They are cheap and worth every penny.
Nice bit of kit but you forgot the most important thing to do with new chain is to mark it of in 5 metre lengths so you know how much to let out dependent on the depth. This can be done with coloured cable ties, loops of coloured cord or paint. I would also put a safety line on the anchor to stop it falling if either the windless or linkage fails.
As the owner and restorer of an old galvanized steel fastened wooden boat that needs most of her structural bits replaced, I'd say that there's a lot wrong with galvanized steel. At least in marine applications. I use it all the time for other applications.
At £3000 + for the anchoring kit you demonstrated, (£2100 chain (@8mm) £650 anchor and £260 swivel) 10mm chain is circa £2600 …..it needs to be good and for most people that size of expenditure is just not viable for an anchor set up. If I had been given the kit I think I would sing its praises……… I applaud what you do on Sirinda but this type of promo whilst good for you personally let’s you down in my opinion..
So my question to you is when at anchor will you run out your chain and then sit on a rope bridle. Its not generally a good practice to hang off your windlass and is generally very noisy. As the boat pitches up and down it will bang away which is both annoying and hard on the equipment. Most people run out the chain and then attach a rope from both sides of the bow to a shackle that gets attached to the chain and then pay out some more chain till you are hanging on the bridle. But since its nice and new maybe your system allows for direct to windlass anchoring. One thing I would suggest is to have a small scotchman bumper and a hundred feet of 1/4" line with a carabiner stored in the chain locker. If you ever get into a situation where you have to cut loose from your anchor, attach the carabiner to the anchor chain first so you can retrieve it later. We had this on the fishboat I was on and it came in handy one time. Our rope line was getting a bit frayed. I kept telling the captain we need to resplice it and he said it was fine gor now. I got in the habit of attaching the scotchman to the line which meant i had to recoil about fifty feet of 1/4" everytime we anchored. Well one morning we woke up drifting with a thousand dollars worth of anchor and chain laying on the bottom. Luckily we drifted away from the beach. We fished the day and then went back to the spot and easily retrieved the line thanks to the scotchman. Captain never said a word to me about it. It kept us from having to drag for the gear.
When you weigh anchor you may hear the chain creaking every time you move the ship in the winch. . How do you prevent this? The old chain had a nice rope with two loops attached to it. Attach a hook to one of the loops to hold the chain, similar to the hook they use on the chain they use to secure cargo. When you have put out enough chain, put the chain in the hook and the other loop around the bollard. Release some more chain so that the rope hangs tight and the chain hangs loose. This way the rope catches any snags and the chain does not creak. If the rope breaks/comes loose, there is no problem. Gr from Holland
get your name, or name of boat or postcode engraved into the anchor, if you ever lose it and someone finds it, you might get it back great work guys - and to think in terms regarding the sad loss of the sailing boat off Sicily, please have some thoughts to getting some miniature breathers, possibly with an underwater torch connected to it,, to keep in the cabins, they can give you up to 15 minutes breathing time incase you are caught out - it's so tragic these people lost there lives, even more tragic when you think of the cost of a boat like that and a couple of simple devices can mean the difference between life saved and life lost
A wise mariner will also attach a long piece of cord neatly coiled with a tape securing it, securing a small fender to the end of the chain . You cut the tapes to release the coil and then cut the bitter end!! After you sacrifice your anchor and chain, you can go back and get it back, maybe with the help of a diver!!
A tribute to the quality of the engineering. If the tests say there is zinc pollution then it should be dealt with along with other heavy metals. I remember when mercury was an issue.
This is like a midnight commercial on the USA paid television. It slices,it dices and can julianne the onions. All for just $19.95 and we will throw in a second one for free!
Suggest you mark your chain before you use it. Its important to know the scope relative to the depth of water. Colour code is best. Also place a waring mark 5m before the bitter end so you dont overload your windlass. Try red yellow blue white green, there is a memorible phrase to help you know how much chain you have out. Use any measurement between your markings,😁
Nice bit of Bling for the Blingy Boat with a Blingy Anchor. You will be able to Anchor with the in Crowd now with all those Shiney bits........ Test run for the BIG Blingy Anchor and Chain SARINDA will be needing. That looks really Shiney ya gonna need ya Shades being that shiney. Keep at it. ;0]
I would never choose for 316SS because I have had very bad experience with 316SS/water/chloride/air combinations and MIC bactery in the oil industry. I'm anchoring a lot and my choice will be galvanised chain and anchor. My choice anchor is Rocna already for 22 years and it never failed. Since 3 years I also use this ultra flip swivel, perfect design and the anchor never came home wrong way around anymore.. Anyway, the best anchor is the anchor you trust and is the anchor you sleep well behind it. Regards,Jaap
Saying galvanise is affecting the sea is absolutely ridiculous. Just look at the plastic effect in the sea. Galvin chain is on the boat 99% of the time.
Chromium comes out of stateless steel. But more minerals come out out of volcanic activity than many state or admit. ICELAND and Greenland for the Atlantic.
That would have been an expensive exercise but it certainly looks nice. Do you think you should have marked the chain for length as to how much you have let out? Cheers Ian
Lovely chain and a beautiful anchor, but you maybe should have warned me that I was going to watch a 15-minute commercial. :( I hope Ship Happens won't make a habit of this!
All that must have cost a bomb, stainless is what 12-15£ a m? And the anchor alone must be a 1k plus. That’s why we all still have galv. What diameter chain do you have?
It's not just standard 316ss, it would be AISI 318LN ss proof chain G60 electro polished which is suitable for high corrosion conditions great for yachts
My father said that pure British stainless steel was far better used in sea than galvanized especially on boats as we only used British Stainless and it never rusted unlike our neighbors German version . It is the same with Knives and forks British Sheffield lasted longer stayed sharp sad that no British Stainless is available anymore it is all this electronic heated melted steel; Just not the same as the original way of getting the Oxygen out of the steel using gas furnaces to me we have to go back to go forward for real Stainless steel as Electric Furnaces just does not produce real Stainless steel very sad indeed. Remember 316 is the new set mark for stainless quality but British real Stainless was a lot higher than that as used in off shore oil Riggs as they are still being used modern ones sadly do not last as long as American and Europe are finding out.
you guys must be making a fortune to be able to afford that kit LOL , We know you got it for free then bragging you have the best system in north Wales is just not funny because REMEMBER without us viewers you would have NOTHING please just remember that , don't start pissing us viewers off it would not be good for your channel , just remember where you started .
The swivel seems to be fastened with bolts. These could presumably undo themselves? I had similar, but had through bolts that allowed a split pin to go through to absolutely cut the risk of losing the anchor.
Saying galvanise is affecting the sea is absolutely ridiculous. Just look at the plastic effect in the sea. Galvin chain is on the boat 99% of the time.
There's no denying that plastic is bad not only in the ocean but in all environments. However galvanised chain is corroding all the time and the loose bits come off every time the anchor is deployed. Multiple this by the millions of boats around the world using galvanised chain and the contamination is huge.Your statement is rediculous.
@@shanelawrence8969 All you environmentalists are stuck in this group think that the oceans of this world are no bigger than a backyard pool. Standing on the beach looking out over the horizon over the expanse of water is nowhere near a comparison to traveling days and days without seeing another human or a spec of land, nothing but water for thousands of miles around and fathoms upon fathoms below you containing near immeasurable amounts of water and that's only in the one little spot where you're at, now take into account the rest of the world's oceans you can't possibly, with sane and sound reasoning, believe that all of the chains, etc amounts to anything more than the proverbial "drop in the bucket".

Not cheap but cannot deny the quality of workmanship.

Really, best anchor system you can buy for money!!
Jemma, you acting for your pretend knot in the galvanised chain was almost believable🤣🤣. Great work, you 2. She looks a beaut.
What's the carbon footprint for your stainless steel and the twin engines on your boat of course your doing your bit for the environment 😁
Game changer for your cruising! A worthy score!
" More slipperer " 😲🤔😁😳😄 Love it Gemma !
Is it a good idea to have a knife velchro'd to the locker lid so it's there if you need it?

Keep a safety knife in the chain locker.
Thanks guy will look at this for Dubai Coronet
Bling Bling. Quite the hook.
Jeez, just seen how much that anchor is. I hope it's insurable!!!!😮
I don’t have a boat, but if I did, this would be a useful video when choosing a setup. Thanks guys.

I would take the strain of the windlass once the anchor is raised, but it really looks awesome 👍😎👍
you need an anchor bridle!!
Amazing, really.
You both work hard on the other boat ,

Simon brain wave every time that comes up she will be bent over cleaning it. HAHAHA. Sorry could not resist, but it is a great anchor.
That Ultra anchor is so pretty you should but a theft alarm on it to prevent it accidentally walking away' LOL
That's now on my shopping list for next season...
Just curious, but why didn't you mark off the chain? Like halfway, almost out of chain, etc?

Get an anchoring app on your phone that will alert you if you are dragging.
Great review 👍absolutely no chance I’d change to SS unless it was free,lot of money for something you spill into the sea and on occasion loose.
Did I just watch a 15-minute commercial.
Yup
Yup. Many such episodes.
Cry some more
That anchor is a beauty and it came with free bill of goods?
Don't you need colour coded markers on the chain so you know how much chain you have out, or does the new windless do that for you?
Do you put coloured markers in the chain to identify how much chain you have let out ?? Love the channel, keep suggesting to the wife we need a boat.

Chromium comes out of stateless steel. But more minerals come out out of volcanic activity than many state or admit. ICELAND and Greenland for the Atlantic.
Is that all that holds the chain to the boat - two little tec screws and a fencing saddle?
If you get it stuck give me a shout as I live nearby and dive👍
Send me a message on facebook! Would be good to have contact with you just in case!!
That would have been an expensive exercise but it certainly looks nice. Do you think you should have marked the chain for length as to how much you have let out? Cheers Ian
Simon is thinking of making his own electric chain counter, but until he does we will definitely be putting back our Anchoright chain markers
We've got the hook - now we need a bigger shark! 🙂
Does the boat manufacturer state what the recommended weight should be?
it looks to be a lot of free play between the anchor and pin on the swivel on the video, it could just be the video
good vid
Hey yall you got the wrong end of the chain hooked up to the boat.
No no no I read there’s to much Crome in the sea!

So shiny

So does it do a better job than a galvanised anchor ? No you just cry a lot more when you lose it and have to replace it at vast expense 🤣
