[C320-list] Rocna Plow anchor

[Ken Geiger]

There is lots of Anchor test videos on you tube. 



 At "SV PANOPE" he does under water videos of a set and reset.  I am not sure about his selection of test conditions  (how realistic they are) but he does  try and be consistent when comparing anchors.  



Here is his Ronca test.  I was surprised at the result as it did not reset well during his tests.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL9JL9AK6ss



We use a CQR knock off (it has a flat steel arm (bendable) as opposed to forged reinforced) and it will skip along the bottom some time times before setting as he shows in one of his videos. Once set, usually in sand, mud or weeds, it has worked well and handled wind direction changes.



FWIW

Anyone have comments on the  Rocna Vulcan vs. Rocna original design?
