Whats up everyone? Happy Easter! Here's a long anchoring video to hopefully raise some heated discussion! 😉 Just for the record, we are not sponsored or affiliated with any of the manufacturers or companies mentioned in this video. This video is NOT meant to be an all-encompassing guide, but rather a look into some of our thoughts and special techniques that we use. There are some things that we think about differently than a lot of other people.

The is simply the best video on this topic anywhere. I agree 110% with everything mentioned. My experience 35+ 😂yrs sailing, 9 yr circumnavigation. 44ft. ketch, cutaway forefoot, full keel, 14 ton displacement. We have a Spade 77 lbs with 3/8 in. chain, 250 ft plus 100 ft rode, one snubber routinely, two in windy conditions. 5:1 scope, more if windy. Have gotten by with 3:1 scope in 110 ft water when forced. I have watched literally hundreds of people anchor, and have seen the all the errors mentioned in this vid. Big anchor means you sleep better. Well done!!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Juho, I love the hair. I know the dreds were you. I like the new you. So young, handsome, and smart. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.

Bravo! 110% agreed. I have 30 years cruising 35'-52' trawlers in BC and SE AK. Something new I learned from you, and it makes good sense, is your suggestion to let out a large amount of chain after setting the snubber(s) to reduce bow movement...great idea!

[@XDEEPTHOUGHT]

The dreads are gone! you look so much better. Great video as always. Many Thanks

[@philipjohnson9581]

Oh really good information for all sailors. You are videos about proper anchoring skills are better than any I've seen. You have a real keen sense of all of the pitfalls that people can create for themselves and then end up with three expensive repairs and/or loss of boats. You two are absolutely adorable and we wish you the very best sailing.

[@TheSkipskop]

Hi, I just want to say that I like your advice . I am retired fishingboat, Captain, mostly on 70 ft trawler type boats for the past 28 years in the squid industry on the South Africa coast, including Cape Aghulas Area witch is very unprotected waters. We fish in very high wind conditions,45 knots etc, on Anchor in up to 45 Fm waters, so anchoring becomes a fine art if you want to survive, both keeping a good anchor spot and not draging into other boats in close proxim aty So in my years at sea I found that your explanation are mostly correct and advisable . Good luck with your next voyage, Ill be watching ;-)

[@SlowlySailing-lc1cs]

I respect that you are not trying to tell anyone what to do, but this video, for me, has been a HUGE educational tool... there is way too much lore and myth about ground tackle, and you have just shone some clear light on the subject, with real experience to back it up. Thank you.

[@atakd]

Just to add my twopenneth for what it's worth. I've had a Spade, Mantus, Bruce and Brittany (supplied by Jeanneau and similar to a Danforth). I currently have an Ultra which I wouldn't have bought on cost but it came with the boat. Best has been Spade, followed by Ultra then Mantus. I found the Bruce quite good except on rock. The Brittany was useless and I replaced it with the Mantus. Sailing area is Scotland to Greece.

[@charlesholt8773]

Hi Juho! I have been sailing more decades than I prefer to admit. Your discussion of anchoring is the most thorough and interesting that I have come across. Well done and best of luck on your Northwest Passage attempt!

[@peterhamilton3511]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your thinking. Hardly anyone talks about that and they just assume oversizing is the answer but knowing that when the SH.. actually hits the fan and you've got 50-60 Kt gusts chain weight won't be nearly as important as anchor size and weight. Well done.

I think it was very good for you to share your experience and how YOU are doing things. AS a rule I like to set up 5 scope in good weather and 7 scope when I know the wind will increase beyond 20 mph.

One of your best videos over recent months or maybe years, in addition to being one of the best YT sailing channels (well done Juho!!). This video was both very informative and educational with several practical tips on anchoring, especially when you have to stay safe and be prepared for severe weather. And greatly appreciate you sharing the technical data and app recommendations for anyone that would like to test the logic, before putting it into action.

[@harryecke5399]

Liked this one very much. A good lesson with dense information, but very sympathetic served as just "good advise" based on Your own experience :)

[@bravofighter]

I lay down 3:1, then back against the anchor, slowly adding RPMs to set the hook, then go 5:1. Where I sail, it’s a tidal fjord, with 4-8’ tides and we have 30’ of heavy chain and the rest is nylon dockline.

[@hectorcyre7664]

Please allow me to make a suggestion to you. You are currently in Alaska. Alaska has hundreds of commercial fishing vessels that are at sea and working for days and weeks on end. In many cases they anchor every night, often in difficult conditions (depth of 100' and more, hard bottoms or weed, heavy swell and chop, winds exceeding 50 kt, etc). Take a couple hours and go walk the docks at the marinas where the commercial fishing boats are moored. Observe what their anchor gear looks like, and particularly what anchors they use. I think you will notice that a majority of commercial fishing boats operating in the extreme conditinos of Alaska use a Forfjord Safety Anchor. The Forfjords have been around for 60 or 70 years and are still the anchor of choice for commerial fishers or two reasons. I haven't seen any recent anchor "test" that included Forfjord anchors. That is unfortunate. They are an old design, but they work and they don't break. I wouldn't have anything else as the primary anchor on my 37', 28,000 lb trawler. Ours is size 6, which is intended for boats up to 50' and 46,000 lbs. We have 200' of 3/8 BBB chain to the anchor, with 200' of nylon rode. We use a "sprung" snubber, with rubber shock absorbers. I also carry a large Fortress as a lunch hook or stern anchor in tight coves in B.C. and Alaska, and carry a large Danforth in the lazarette as a secondary anchor. FWIW, I have over 60 years of sailing and powerboating experience, including extensive sailboat racing, fishing commerically for salmon in Alaska and Puget Sound, cruising the Inside Passage and Southeasat Alaska, and chartering in the Caribbean, South Pacific, Mexico, Canada, and New Zealand. I firmly believe there is no "best" anchor, because there are so many variables. Ground tackle, rode choices, a snubber, technique, and other aspects must be considered. Anchors, associated anchoring gear, and anchoring techniques are like belly buttons. Everyone has their own, and likes theirs best.

[@ricardolordelo3881]

Yes that’s pretty much the ideal design (or something like that). The image I had in my mind was more like the anchors on very big ships. Which apart from slight variations in looks, work pretty much the exact same way. The problem with those anchors is that they don’t look good in the bow of a yacht…. They don’t roll well in a bow roller… 😄

[@robertfreeman2322]

@@ricardolordelo3881 Not to make this a huge debate but, as a commercial fisherman for 30 yrs that has used this style anchor I can attest to their ability. There is a caveat though and it's that they will dig in so hard you'll need to prepare for retrieval because sometimes you'll have to put them on a capstan or tie off to a stern cleat. I've bent a damn fluke more than once trying to get it off the bottom and back into the boat. I once put a buoy on it to come back later and retrieve it. They dig in good, almost too good and it's not a bad thing, just something to be aware of. I also had hydraulic drum that deployed the anchor with a powerful motor on it.

[@ricardolordelo3881]

@@robertfreeman2322 Yes, they’re just trying to maximise the holding / weight ratio because the boats are small and light and the anchor weight actually makes a difference in the performance of the boat. They even make toilets out of carbon fibre under the argument that it’s lighter!!! So they twist and turn to make an x lbs anchor hold just a little bit better. Anyway above a certain size boat, those types of anchor don’t even exist.

[@filiproets3618]

How can we not be nice to you? Again excellent plain explanation all the way. Very well done.

[@Toffie10]

I did commercial fishing with 30 to 35 foot skiboats for 4 years. 10 crew members. What I learned is the "anchor" is only the hook that prevent your chain of slipping.. The actual anchor is your chain. The thicker, the better, at least 10 meters of it. I never "pulled" an anchor, (hook) by hand or winch. I ride it out with a bouy attatched to the rope or chain. If the hook gets stuck in a rocky bottom, you NEVER ride it out, you stern, (reverse) it out in the opposite direction you were hanging on the rope.

[@markthomasson5077]

Good point on not going to big on chain. In fact I have recently seen advice from Viking to keep everything close the the anchor as small as possible, so aid the burying of the anchor.

[@tlteal]

I've had the "ULTRA" (yes the expensive one) anchor for a few years and it's never let us down. Sure, there are cheaper options out there but IMHO, nothing compares to the ultra. Yes, i've had most of the others and no they don't even come close. There have been many tests (videos and such) of each and how they react to being pulled, re-set, etc.

[@Love4Ukraine]

Yay, I've missed you guys!

[@hackisack]

Ok, so I admit I skipped through sections of this video since I don’t sail. But the anchoring process was really interesting. Never knew that so much preparation goes into it. New hair look cool! I’m sure you enjoy the new ease of maintenance 😅

[@jaysummers9396]

Now I know more about anchors than I'll ever need to know 😂⚓ happy easter 🐣

[@alistairhart9699]

You are correct about the delta Anchor. My experience with a 40 foot launch and this anchor in ideal soft ground was that it would pull in and hold ok but if the wind changed to the opposite direction and blew hard it would not reset and the boat would take off across the bay no matter how much chain was out. After the third time this happened it was removed for a 25kg Rockner with a roll bar. The Manson Supreme would also be a good choice. These Anchors are the closest thing to a mobile mooring out there. Highly recommend. .

[@EngineeringSiblings]

More weigh in the chain will provide more dapmening before the cattenary doesn't provide any more benefit. But it does significantly impact the dynamic load component. (As you alluded with 20 vs 50 knot calculation) (Writing this as someone who designed mooring for offshore instalations)

[@kenmcvie6350]

Wondered where you were! Welcome back, and the new hairdo suits you well. Im not a sailor but have subscribed to two other channels as well as yours, and yours is then most interesting to me for the content and presentation, along with the amazing scenery. Thank you!

[@daisy9910]

I come from many, many generations of sailors, and while I don't sail myself, the information you share is easy to understand and incredibly helpful. I always think of this channel first when it comes to sailing knowledge.

[@markthomasson5077]

I just got out one of my favourite books, Multihull Voayaging, Thomas Firth Jones. A very experienced sailor / designer / builder. He recommends on fathom of chain, the the rest in nylon rode, no thicker than it has to be. His reason is that this gives the maximum elastic spring, so minimal load on anchor. (Of course in coral or the like, chain is better)

[@RulgertGhostalker]

beyond studying your anchor choice, it's the physics that match up to it .... i think you did a good job of addressing shock loading, and the whole subject in general. I looked at the Vulcan prices... if that's what one pays for comfort, I will settle for nervous.

[@robertfreeman2322]

Sarca Ex-cel anchors are just as good if not better and cheaper. Not a lot cheaper but an 88lb anchor like I have on my bow is 400 dollars cheaper than a Rocna Vulcan of same weight. F/V Panope on youtube did a good test on them and rated all the modern anchors in multiple seabeds. Set,reset,holding power,tip to weight ratio etc..

[@dennisg8164]

Great video. I've used a Rocna 1 for years and it's only let me down once. I spend alot of time in LaPaz BCS, México which is a very tricky place to anchor due to strong tidal current and strong crosswinds to current direction which results in the infamous LaPaz Waltz. These conditions have you doing rapid accelerations over top of your chain and rapid 360's in both directions. The holding ground is sand/mud. I contend the rollbar on the Rocna prevents dragging because the anchor resets so quickly. If I observe a boat anchoring with a plow I always tell them they are too close because they will and do drag in here. Regarding having lots of anchors: I have 3. My old Bruce which is the best short scope anchor out there for soft bottoms. Great in crowded anchorages. I kept it as a spare should I lose my primary Rocna. I also have a Fortress which works great as a stern anchor here in México. It's a 23 which is too big. I'd love to trade it for a 15. It can be a real struggle to dislodge the 23.

[@johnnya9001]

Great tutorial. Re: Northwest passage. Randall Reeves who did the figure 8 voyage a few years ago will be attempting the same route this summer. Maybe you will run into him (figuratively speaking of course). He is a member of the Richmond Yacht Club, Point Richmond California.

[@alessiamajormoon5836]

Great video. My method is to use 4:1 scope for F4 or less, F5 is 5:1 scope etc. So for 50 knots (F10) would use 10:1 scope (if carrying enough rode and swing room allow).

[@markthomasson5077]

Another tip I heard. Once backed in and holding well, it could be the tip of your anchor is just caught on a rock. As soon as you swing it releases. So back it in in different directions.

[@bogsplash8612]

Fantastic video Juho, so glad you shared your knowledge on this subject which is always getting debates. Last time i was on a boat we were using CQR anchors. They worked pretty well for us apart from the time we forgot to let scope out as the tide came in. Nothing worse than some scratches on the belly thankfully and a not so gentle reminder that scope is king.

[@peterhaberland9388]

Fantastic information, am in full agreement. I sincerely wish you two all the best and success on your journey to Greenland through the North West Passage. I admire all that you do and how you cope with adversity. May your adventure be blessed with good fortune and no break downs. Kindest regards Pete, Australia.☮️

[@arkadybron1994]

Excellent video with lots to think about. There is no substitute for solid experience coupled to a practical approach. One thing that I was a bit confused by, is the use of the Klemheist or rather how you tied it in the free end of a line. The Klemheist I know uses a loop.

[@dennisg8164]

re swivels and chain hooks: your method is by far the best. If you use a shackle, I use 2, they must be load rated. Most aren't. Crosby is the only one I know of. It's identified by the red pin. Not cheap but what's your security worth? Swivels must be load rated too. Most cheap ones aren't. I like the Mantus.

[@gregsage1605]

I spent several months on anchor in the same waters that you are now. I used a Mantus, and 3/8 chain, as close to 5:1 scope whenever possible. It set first time, every time and never drug. I had problems with a Delta and Danforth in previous trips. I have friends that are as loyal to Rochna- always holding. Loved your presentation and I'm getting used to the new look. Welcome back!

[@quasimandias]

I cruise the same area and the Mantus has been far superior to others I have used.

[@BigRedNZ1]

Awesome video! We use a riding sail a bit like your, makes such a difference.

[@fredio54]

Re your catenary and chain, we only run around 10m of chain, the rest is large stretchy rope which softens and smooths the forces on both the anchor/seabed and the boat itself except in very shallow water. Saves all the fucking around with the snubber setup like you did and provides abrasion resistance at the business end where you need it. And keeps the bow weight down. Win win.

[@texarama]

Dude, you are a total expert. Talk about the technical stuff from your actual experience. It's appreciated.

[@DaleNewnham]

I also went with a Vulcan based on SV Panope testing. I selected this over a spade as the galvanizing is better and it does not have a lead insert so should last longer and be easier to regalvanize if it ever needs it. I think the Vulcan does better than the Ultra in testing so it makes no sense to pay a lot more for less performance. Great video!

[@renoflames]

I like your common sense on the boat operation. I would by me a hydro charger to keep a couple of reserve batteries charged. I use it on my boat and has come in very handy. I do not completely depend on solar. The Hydro charger is not too expensive and is pretty easy to install. That charger saved my ass a few times on anchor winch use and lights in unusual circumstances. Good video considering subbing. Nice Boat. Your Star Link is good too.

[@billygrahamyachtsinc753]

I have a 50 ft, 25 DWT steel schooner. I use an 80 lb Rocna type as my main bower, with 70 ft of 7/16" galvanized link chain, attached with a Crosby 3/4" galvanized shackle to 350 ft of 3/4" nylon 3 strand Proset anchor line. (40% stretch) Anchor / chain has a Crosby galvanized swivel. In heavy weather or poor holding bottom, I simply shackle a 50 lb (I have 2 @ 50 lbs) lead kellet at the 70 ft chain/ line connection. Nylon stretches, kellet may lift depending on wind forces, then drops to the bottom on recoil. 50 lbs is way overkill, but they came with the boat, I so use one or both on a 3/4" x 10" long eye bolt. No more centenary concerns.
