[@stevebrunning3432]

Another great video. I will investigate appending one of these anchors to my boat. The cruising grounds look amazing. Thank you

i want to go sailing so bad ! If you guys have Aurora in the water by the 17th of may we should meet up, we are out that hole weekend, nice vid as always

[@SailingAurora]

Hey buddy... I know right. I will mark the weekend in the calendar. Maybe we can meet up before on land sometime. I am travelling so much at the moment though, hopefully it will slow down

[@HimmelHav]

Nice gadget! But is the anchor held only by the winch brakes after it is dropped? no extra cleat to tie down the anchor line for safety?

[@SailingAurora]

The clutch is very strong, however they do recommend to tie it off on a cleat if the strain increases. This is easily done, on the stern cleat but to be honest I would just move to a more sheltered area which can be found pretty easily in the archipelago

[@cafriedrichsen]

on the film you just showed there is a huge big slanted pull on your anchor rope, how do you think this will affect the system over time.

[@SailingAurora]

The system is designed for this and has held up well so far. There is a stainless steel plate also behind the transom to provide reenforcement. I Can't see any future problems structurally

[@TarasKalapun]

Why don't you use Fortress anchor for stern?

[@Cptnbond]

Maybe asking, why using a Bruce anchor? Not why using anchor Xyz? My experience with Bruce in the area is that it holds very well in mud (as Chris said). Fair winds.😁

[@johanstang8298]

The Bruce anchor works really well in the Swedish mud :)

[@SailingAurora]

The fortress probably would hold well, but it is quite light and a little clumsy to handle. As sgt bond says, the bruce is ideal for muddy conditions up here
