ANCHOR AWARENESS

[@MrVault]

Idk how I got here but damn, watched the whole video. Oddly satisfying lol

[@trainsplanesandotherthings5187]

Thanks to this video I no longer lose my anchor when driving to work on the highway..

[@joebarnes3178]

For 6 years I worked for a company that collected metal from the ocean floor for recycling and we got more anchors and miles of enormous chain off the ocean floor, one time we were sent to get cars where a ship sank ,we brought up over 200 u.s. muscle cars someone bought and was taking to Italy all were 60,s and 70,s cars. Some really rare. Salt water had ruined the engines I'm sure, you could rebuild them but it would take mass money, most of what we went af was for insurance company's that had paid for the loss already and wanted to actually make sure that they had paid for the right thing, we brought one ship up that the owner had collected the insurance money for and when we got it up and went aboard it was totally stripped inside, the owner had even took the huge engines apart and took em out before sinking it, then said he was out and it sank I'm sure hes probably in prison cause he collected a few million on that one and the insurance company came and took pictures and the coast guard made reports of it all as insurance fraud , the owner had it happen 2 times in 1 year so we brought the second one up so they could make sure the owner wasn't lying, and he was

Excellent instrument for learning.

It's help me a lot

[@patiloba]

Beautiful video for training and creating awareness. Thank you very much.

[@Spennny]

Saw the video of the Anchor going haywire and wanted to learn more. This video referenced the video I had saw and taught me a lot more! Thanks for this!

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

No idea why I watched this video, but it was extremely interesting.

[@alunmorgan7869]

Best anchoring video on KZbin thanks

[@Mixter81]

Very good , informative and eduactional video. Thank you!

[@777Gerard777]

I don't even own a cheap row boat yet I'm fascinated by this video! Now let me get a boat! 😀

[@hectorherbert6585]

the cargo boat business is one of the 'dirtiest'..,too many crooks are running these companies..zero boat maintenance ,unpaid salaries ,pollution ...this needs to change...

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

Excellent presentation.

[@joebarnes3178]

Wear on the swivel pin or the eyelet it goes in caused us to lose anchors a few times, the saltwater causes it to rust much faster

[@BIG-DIPPER-56]

VERY GOOD ! ! ! THANKS ! 🙂😎👍

[@gordonagent7037]

Fantastic tutorial

[@JoeyPinter]

this is good to know. one never knows when will end up on a ship.

[@TempoDrift1480]

I can't imagine this being rocket surgery. There are a few simple things to take into consideration and 99 percent of it is common sense.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

You wouldn't believe how many weekend sailboat captains get the anchorage wrong. Most are used to just tying up to a dock and don't have proper knowledge of how to anchor out. Most people think you just drop the anchor and when it hits bottom you're done. They don't know about the chain/rode length ratio and "common sense" won't help them learn it without something being damaged. That's why most wannabe sailors should attend sailing classes to learn these things and other important issues that deal with boating!

[@Tarnimo]

Common sense is not very common.

[@paralinq]

Nice music

[@dongheon3922]

Appreciate

[@210359]

Thank you ,, would be better if swinging circle measurement is defined as well

[@Sebastian-gj9tc]

Im watching this at work but i don't even have a ship

[@ypaulbrown]

thank you for a great video....

[@richardcruz102]

Great video to watch I have always wondered about how and why dropping anchor goes wrong I have a question still why don't people wear simple dust masks to keep from inhaling any of the fine particles of rust ?

[@michaeldougfir9807]

When I was at sea in the 1970s we did pretty much as the video says. However, our chain was held in place by a "pelican hook", which was released with a sledge hammer. No mention of that here. Are pelican hooks still in use?

[@ACSThe81]

Sounds like the most stressful job on a wessel, nonetheless fascinating how complex and simple at the same time.

[@soldierski1669]

Pavel Chekov?

[@alexopweg]

Very interesting. I will be a pleasure sailor , and this content is a good lesson for me .

[@ThatShirOwO]

it's 4 am. How did I get here?

[@pecheur1951]

Ok... I don't own a boat so why did this get recommended 🤔

[@mikejw58]

Wow ! Ive been doing it wrong all along.

[@ravipeter9280]

Windage area and UKC at shallow water anchorage ?

[@hansgruber650]

So much for "DROP ANCHOR".

[@Ksquizzles4209]

Average IQ 📉 = preventable catastrophies 📈

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

Everyone lost their anchor once in a while right? 😅

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

This was a teriffic refresher. I feel more scope is better though as it reduces the strain on the anchor.

[@bluzeman1975]

So bottom line is poor maintenance, incompetent training, and use of poorly manufactured chains/ parts. It's pretty straigtforward to fix all 3 of those issues.

[@tyrstone3539]

It is not easy to fix seemingly simple problems

[@MrGreen876]

To the 23k viewers who seen this in the first 3 years. I hope your world is full of safety. P.s. I am comment #12
