Ohana 0 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 We have owned 2 Sarca Excels so far. One on a mono, the current one (55kgs on 13mm chain) on a 50 foot Cat, which has a tiny bit of windage. Rock solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 39 minutes ago, Blunt Instrument said: I was curious as to the hydrodynamics ( water flow over the flukes as they travelled thru the water) of the anchors as they ... A. Travelled to the seabed. B. Were dragged across the sand / mud. ...and weather that had an effect on setting or not.? Unlikely. Its an anchor, not a foil. Hydrodynamics are not normally factors for lumps of iron and steel. When I launch my anchor, it hangs straight down of the chain. The shape of the anchor and how it interacts with the seabed are key, I believe. The plough lies on it side and that is that. The excell has a little downward point at the tip, like a concord nose. This catches and digs in very fast. Note, I'm not a technical specialist in anchoring. Just a guy that owns a boat and doesn't like dragging off when I'm having a nap.
