The Anchor Test You Didn't Know

Yeah nah, no such thing as never dragging anchor, but now that we have your attention listen to this.
Do this reverse on bridle/snubber test on proper anchor ground and you can rest knowing your anchor holding is good unless it breaks, the wind changes completely, or gets stronger than 30kn, and then we hope you’re awake and near the engines 🫠
Stay tuned for a Sailing Virgins Croatian Adventure… (this summer!!😉) where you can learn, sail, & get your ASA certifications with us in some of the most beautiful waters in the Mediterranean!

Ha ha, good one. If in doubt, throw it all out, lol We went from a plough anchor as it did just that. We now have a mantus M2. What a difference.

interesting ! 😮 to be honest though I've barely sailed in my life I've always wondered how you get an anchor to _"stick"_ on soft sands , and to my non-sailor-ly eyes it's like paralel parking : lots of moves and shifts until you get it righ and snuggly 😅

Yea pretty much like that 🥲
