An anchor buries because of design, specifically the tension on the rode forces the fluke to bury. However as the anchor buries it also...

I have been working on the concept that shear strength increases with the square of depth - but maybe that's too simple and it varies...

I was pondering further, as I do. I find the Plot of Fortress in different locations quite robust (Chesapeake and San Francisco), in...

It would be dangerous to assume the scaling of a Fortress is indicative of any other other anchor. Using the data might favour a...

The seabed for the Chesapeake tests was specifically chosen by Fortress, other tests, for example those in San Francisco, were chosen by...

I don't think you can pull data together from different sets of tests and derive this sort of correlation. The setting procedures...

The problem is shows are way too expensive to exhibit at and you have to either be big enough to have it in your marketing budget or...

Since the science of how an anchor holds is dependent on many variables, even in the same substrate, I’d be very surprised if there was...

Basic caveat when using line of best fit methods like linear regression. It is only valid within the range of data points used. While...

The empty spaces at the Sydney show were also full of mattress suppliers - is there more money in mattresses than anchors....? :)...

I find 'industry' shows something of a contradiction. They charge the exhibitors a King's ransom and do the same to the punters. Are...

Interrupted by the absence of wine, temporarily I thought this would be useful: Defense Technical Information Center Jonathan edit I...

I agree with this. But if you assume the plotted line is about right, and the data is actual - real anchors, real seabeds - lots of...

But the thread is about worst anchors - one that looks magic, desperately complicated - and releases just when the chips are down -...

Just to clarify. You need a shackle and an Omega. The omega will fit the chain, if you have 8mm chain buy an 8mm Omega. Go as...
