Drogues and sea anchors: we test a Jordan Series drogue and a ParaAnchor

Toby Hodges tries out a ParaAnchor sea anchor and a Jordan Series Drogue on a heavy weather sail training weekend in the English Channel

Drogues and sea anchors are designed to slow a boat or allow it to hold station in extreme weather conditions. They can prevent a possible capsize, roll or broach by keeping the bow or stern facing the weather. Debates about the pros and cons are rife among cruisers.

In Skip Novak’s Storm Sailing Series he reveals that he isn’t in favour of streaming warps, let alone using a drogue or sea anchor. Yet there are numerous testimonials from long-distance sailors who place their faith in these devices.

Intrigued to see how practical this equipment is to use, I joined Rubicon 3, a sail training and exploration company, during a heavy weather sail training weekend. I was particularly keen to see how easy it is to deploy and retrieve a drogue or sea anchor, and compare their benefits.

We sailed from Portsmouth aboard the 60ft Hummingbird , an expedition yacht built for the original Clipper Race in 1996. We needed to sail 15nm offshore into the English Channel to reach a depth of 20m to set the sea anchor, which has a diameter of 26ft, and find enough sea room to retrieve the 110m drogue. Once these contraptions are deployed, the yacht’s ability to manoeuvre is limited.

Bruce Jacobs, together with Rachael Sprot, founded Rubicon 3 to offer a unique crossover of adventure sailing and sail training. They had requested we muster early in the morning so we could check and load the equipment. They ran through the theories of using drag devices and how we would deploy and recover them.

“The main thing you have to look for when in heavy weather is breaking seas,” said Jacobs. “The boat can handle breaking waves if they are in the right orientation – 20° each side of the bow and similarly to the stern. The thing you don’t want to do is end up sideways to the sea.”

Choices in heavy weather

Yachtsmen have the choice of battening down and riding out extreme weather by heaving-to, forereaching, or lying ahull. But these techniques will not prevent capsize if a yacht is hit by a breaking wave.

There are three choices of purpose-made tackle to help keep a yacht stable in big seas: a single drogue towed off the stern to stop it surfing, a series drogue (a series of multiple miniature drag devices or cones on one line) or a sea anchor. The latter two are bulky, expensive items to ship, but are proven to keep a yacht bow or stern to the waves.

Jacobs explained that it is easier to keep a yacht stern on to waves as it sits better to the wind and is stable running downwind under bare poles. The counter argument is that the bow has been designed to point into waves, whereas the stern can poop and take waves into the companionway. Both the theories and test accounts of using series drogue and sea anchors are wide ranging.

“Most importantly, if you can keep a fit and healthy crew, you can get around bad weather,” said Jacobs. “If you can keep the boat stationary, then the average storm will blow through in 24 to 36 hours. But most people go with it, which turns that into three to four days, with a tired crew.”

A Force 5 wind against tide produced enough chop to make life uncomfortable on board. It demonstrated how quickly crew can become ill or tired. As soon as we dropped the main, the motion changed for the worse and we struggled for balance as we prepared the drogues. “Even here, where conditions are not severe, the choppy sea has made half the crew feel seasick and want to retreat into their shell,” said Jacobs.

Para Anchor

We trialled a ParaAnchor from Ocean Safety. The main towline is made from Nylon to keep elasticity in the system. A buoyed snag line improves retrieval and stops the anchor sinking. A parachute anchor has a huge surface area however, so its retrieval is not straightforward.

“We want the sea anchor to be on the same wave cycle as the boat, to rise and fall with the wave pattern,” said Bruce Jacobs, “otherwise you have huge snatch loads. So it’s worth keeping line in reserve so you can pay it out if you’re on a bad wave cycle.”

It is also worth double-checking the sea anchor is set up properly. Flaking out the line so it can run freely without snagging helps, but may not be practical. We paid out 100m of towline, which took up most of the side deck to flake. However, sea anchors are available with a deployment bag, which can simply be thrown into the water.

We rigged a bridle to help spread the load. Depending on hull(s) and keel shapes, the correct rigging of a bridle is an important factor in keeping a yacht head to wind. Ocean cruising veterans Lin and Larry Pardey advocate the use of a bridle with a scrap of sail to help prevent rolling. “Improvements may be found in leading it to an aft quarter cleat to allow you to trim it to an angle, or even putting up a scrap of main,” said Jacobs.

“One of the biggest causes of failure is chafe, so we also use a chain first to prevent this,” he added. The preparation and deployment of the ParaAnchor is time-consuming, but it certainly felt reassuring once in action. We drifted calmly, dead in the water, the motion instantly very much more comfortable.

The helm can be lashed and left once the anchor is set. A concern with sea anchors is that they can hold the bow too securely into oncoming waves, with the potential to shunt the boat astern. Allowing some flexibility in the helm lashing, by using a shock cord for example, provides a fuse to prevent rudder damage if this happens.

Other worries with sea anchors are that they place a lot pressure on the bow fittings. Cleats may need reinforcing with backing plates. If not under pressure a sea anchor can sink and pull the bow down. Equally, too much pressure means it may rise up and break the surface, so monitoring is needed.

When in the trough of a wave the towline can go slack and the yacht may yaw away from the wind – the reason the US Coast Guard could not recommend a sea anchor deployed from the bow in its 1987 report .

Jordan Series Drogue

A series drogue comprises a multitude of fabric cones spliced in series onto a line with a weight on the end. The original series drogue was designed by Donald Jordan and it is trailed from the stern. The purpose of a series or ‘medium drag’ drogue is comparable to a sea anchor in that it is designed to hold the boat near-stationary – to prevent capsize in the event of a breaking wave.

The number of cones is determined by the yacht’s displacement, but a typical Jordan Series Drogue (JSD) has between 100 and 200 cones of 5in (12.7cm) diameter attached to a tapered line. The load is spread across the multitude of cones, 172 in the case of Hummingbird ’s JSD.

“The danger with the wind behind is pitchpoling,” explained Jacobs. “The JSD will hold you back, stop you from surfing and prevent that happening.” The yacht is still able to accelerate down the face of a wave, but the JSD will slow it enough for the wave to pass through without dropping into a trough. The drag force is applied softly, allowing gentle acceleration until enough cones bite.

The potential to be pooped is an obvious concern. Can the cockpit drain quickly enough? The drogue’s inventor says crew should be below, as steering is not required. So the companionway hatch needs to be sufficiently watertight.

The JSD can flake neatly into a mesh deployment bag. A bight between each cone is attached to the bag, bridle to one end and chain weight to the other. Deployment is then just a case of setting up the bridle on winches and paying it out. We were aboard a robust yacht, but once again I could appreciate the need to make sure the attachment points for the bridle are reinforced.

Once the drogue was set, the motion changed immediately. We went from rolling and lurching to comfortably taking tea in the cockpit, making 4.4 knots SOG, but just 0.1 knot through the water.

If the ease of deployment is a benefit of the JSD, its retrieval is its downside. Jacobs says it can take over an hour. But a snag line can be used, and during our trials retrieval took approximately 20 minutes with the aid of a winch.

“You have to find a method that is comfortable for you and your boat – and this [JSD] obviously is for Hummingbird ,” said Jacobs. See also Jeanne Socrates’s article on those who have used a Jordan Series Drogue in anger

Conclusions

The trials demonstrated the value of preparation. Trying to sort out one of these drag devices, including the bridle and chafe gear needed, when the storm has already hit, would be daunting. So knowing how to set and use the equipment is key. It was also surprising to see how quickly a drogue or sea anchor can change the motion on board for the better, and the benefit this has on the mood and fatigue of the crew.

It is quite evident that, with practice, either could be a useful tool for riding out heavy weather. I remember setting a sea anchor during a Pacific delivery, for example, to stop the boat to cut a fishing net free from the stern gear. But during our trials with Rubicon 3, I found the series drogue easier to deploy and adjust than the sea anchor, with less to go wrong.

Rubicon 3 – ‘sail’ ‘train’ ‘explore’

Rubicon 3 is owned and run by RYA Yachtmaster Ocean instructors Rachael Sprot and Bruce Jacobs. They bought Hummingbird two years ago.

“We wanted to do something different to what is already out there,” said Bruce Jacobs. “There is nothing really like what we do – you can typically only do adventure sailing or sail training, but this combines the two. It’s sailing with a purpose, sailing to get to great places.”

Their clients are typically aged between 35 and 60, around a quarter are new to sailing, and most sign up to sail on their own. The company has launched a series of Ocean Crossing Masterclasses. www.rubicon3.co.uk

Rock Solid Credentials

Peter’s anchoring solution consistently returns top results in objective and independent testing. released to the market in 2004, the rocna has had a few years to amass independent testing results and real-world feedback..

The most significant and objective independent testing was done by West Marine testing of 14 different anchor types on three different sea beds, conducted by the US retailer and both monitored and reported on by SAIL and Yachting Monthly. The Rocna scored the highest in average holding power by far, some 40% in excess of its nearest competitor, the Spade. The testers commented that the Rocna exhibited “…superb, consistent performance. Held a minimum of 4,500 lb and engaged immediately.”

Rocna Reviews and Testimonials

Approaching boat anchor testing is inherently complex. Such tests take place in controlled environments, which may not fully replicate the unpredictable conditions that arise when relying on an anchor in real-life situations. We recognize the value of real-life testimonials from a myriad of our customers worldwide, which provide valuable insights into the practical performance of our anchors in various situations and in comparison with both old- and new-generation anchors.

Rocna consistently returns top results in objective and independent testing. Since 2004, the Rocna has led worldwide anchor tests as published in the likes of SAIL , Yachting Monthly , Practical Boat Owner , Voile , and others. Because of the Rocna’s reliable and convincing performance against its competition, Rocna is trusted to be rock solid in the real world.

I replaced my previous CQR anchor on my Bavaria 38 monohull with a Rocna anchor last year. The Rocna has been reliably fabulous. Recently I had to anchor in 25m with only 60m of chain in the 25-knot wind in a sandy bottom. The Rocna did not move an inch for 8 hours.

What a comfort to have such a reliable anchor. Performing beyond the specs! Thanks, guys, I recommend your product to my sailing fraternity.

— Don Gadsden, Rocna on Bavaria 38

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our Rocna anchor. We purchased it 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier. Since we have been raving about it there is 5 more just on our dock since then. It’s very nice to find a piece of marine gear that works as advertised without question. Thank you!

I am certainly a very happy customer so far. I will sleep good on the hook tonight because I feel confident my anchor will hold.

In 2016 we were in Squirrel Cove, Cortez Island BC on our Ranger R27, the Red Raven. We were traveling with our good friends Bonnie and Kevin Nasr in their 55ft Ocean Alexander, the Ocean Dream. The anchorage was filled with boats and so we decided to raft together with a stern tie to shore. High winds were expected overnight so for added insurance we used the dinghy to set our anchor as well.

The Ocean Dream had a 105 lb CQR and the Red Raven had a 33 lb Rocna 15. The winds howled all night and we stayed firm with no issues. In the morning we decided to make a run to the Squirrel Cove Public Dock for groceries and do laundry. We pulled the Rocna 15 and left in the Red Raven. The winds were still blowing but no worse than during the night. Several hours later we returned to find the Ocean Dream had dragged anchor and was perilously close to the rocks ashore. We quickly pulled the Ocean Dream anchor and re-anchored elsewhere in the cove.

Our conclusion was that the Rocna 15 had made the difference! The Ocean Dream now sports a new 121 lb Rocna 55!

— Curt and Tracy Johansen, Rocna 15 on a Ranger R27

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your product. I am in St Maarten on my Cheoy Lee 44′ and the boat just went through hurricanes Irma which was a direct hit with winds gusting to 250mph, and hurricane Maria right after with winds of 125mph.

I had my boat in a marina with my Rocna 44 set on 3/4″ anchor line in about 15 feet of water and that anchor never broke loose. It held through both storms and stopped the bow of my boat from moving in a lateral motion. This probably saved all my dock lines from breaking. As you may know about 90% of all the boats on the island sank, so I consider myself very lucky.

I have owned boats for 35 years and your anchor is the best I have owned so far. Keep up the good work guys.

— Rourke Henderson, Rocna 44

I purchased a Rocna Vulcan Stainless steel 25kg anchor. A rust blemish appear on the anchor, I polished it out but it returned. I contacted Rocna who organised a new anchor to be delivered to me and the old one was picked up by them. This process was done in a matter of days not weeks.

It was the smoothest process I had ever encountered. They are a company that stands by their product. I was very impressed with their after-market service. I am certainly a very happy customer so far.

I will sleep good on the hook tonight because I feel confident my anchor will hold.

—  Mark Portelli, Vulcan 25

Rubicon 3 heads off on sailing expeditions to some of the world’s more remote areas and having a top quality anchor is paramount for us. Anchored off somewhere like the coast of Greenland, we need to know that our anchor will penetrate and hold in almost any environment.

It sets well, has huge holding power and deals effectively with difficult seabeds such as kelp. This is a top quality anchor.

Independent Anchor Performance Testing

Published boat anchor testing is generally of poor quality. Much of it amounts to nothing better than noise: terrible test designs, absence of controls, lack of repeat trials, and commercial or even nationalist biases generate unhelpful data that confuse and distract. On this page is a collection of those few exceptions that manage to build an accurate and helpful picture of real world anchor performance.

Writers tend not to possess science or engineering backgrounds and lack understanding of what would constitute valid testing, much less reasonable analysis of the resulting data. Even if the publication boasts qualified personnel, testing of an acceptable standard is expensive and unlikely to ever become an activity a magazine will engage in. The three- or four-figure worth of a single article can never bring a financial return on the five- or six-figures of the necessary budget.

Commercial involvement with supposedly independent publications is a particularly insidious example of media failings. An example is a ‘test’ conducted in 2014 by Fortress Marine Anchors in the USA which was covered by a number of well-known publications. Without exception the write-ups included only cursory notes as to the testers’ commercial nature, glossed over as unimportant. Predictably, the results looked exactly as Fortress might prefer them, attending to both the championing of their own product and the disparagement of their most threatening marketplace competitors. In this case as always the testing methodology may be critiqued, such as a focus on a bottom type in the company’s favor; apples-to-oranges comparisons of aluminium to steel anchors, resulting in mismatched physical sizes; a pulling protocol designed to benefit their product rather than best simulate real world usage; and so on. In a follow-up in PassageMaker , author Nigel Calder debates test ‘witness’ and ex-West Marine corporate man Chuck Hawley, pointing out some of these issues and raising concerns based on discrepancies between the testing data and real world experience – Hawley doggedly maintains that the testing he witnessed was not rigged and that the results were credible. Similar claims were made by Practical Sailor , who took Fortress at their word and simply published supplied results without even bothering to send anyone. But the problem of any form of bias is very simple, and does not require deep arguments on methodology. In the world of science, where researching the facts of reality with a rigid impartiality is foundational, it is well understood how natural human biases in even the most neutral and competent experimentalist can totally invalidate otherwise carefully planned testing. Peer review will simply not accept results from research which has not taken great care to eliminate bias with basic techniques such as proper controls, randomization, and blind testing. All this before results are published by the mainstream media. The typical sports magazine staff and writers are unequipped, in terms of qualifications or scientific experience, to review a complicated test. And whether or not the cynical invite from the commercial party to ‘referee’ their testing is accepted, writers are expected to produce a pay-worthy draft that a magazine can dress up as useful to their readers. This alone is sufficient to introduce substantial bias on top of the existing commercial agenda. Such ‘independent’ witnesses, lacking scientific training, are bound to be misled. A clever salesman would rely on it. The publications involved in this kind of debacle allow, in their credulity or indolence, commercial agents to commandeer their reputation and do a tremendous disservice to their readers. The boating media needs to do a better job of maintaining impartiality.

While blemished, the picture is not universally bleak. The tests below manage to present credible data. For example: the West Marine testing, a product of the world’s largest marine retailer’s desire to test the anchors it distributes. Although obviously commercial, the testers at least uphold the appearance of brand-neutrality, and indeed their bestselling anchors (at the time) are those with the poorest results. A radically different example is John Knox’s work in Practical Boat Owner , a continuation of a long-time obsession with anchors – much more a labor of love than any mercenary effort by the magazine writer who fancies himself a research scientist for the day.

These tests are therefore overviewed here with an eye to their scientific credibility, a standard which leads to the rejection of a number of published articles. Tests are also restricted to those which include the Rocna or Vulcan, but have no connections to any anchor manufacturer.

Kippari March 2015

The Finns at Kippari (Skipper) conducted a small and simple comparison test on dry land, using an industrial sand and gravel pit. The substrate appeared consistent from location to location, which many other poorly controlled tests cannot match, although unfortunately it does not appear to have been realistically wet. Nevertheless the data for hard sand, where many contenders simply failed to set, is worthwhile, and in soft sand interesting differences are found too.

“The test’s top anchor for absolute grip and holding power” was the Rocna, although the magazine included Finnish retail pricing in their final consideration and slipped the New Zealand design down a spot as a consequence. They also considered dimensions and physical bulk of the anchors, with regard to bow roller fit. Only the pull data is reproduced here.

The results were not adjusted for the variance in mass between the anchor models tested, an irritating omission given there is a 20% variance between the lightest (10 kg) and the heaviest (12 kg) steel products, and a 47% variance if the aluminium Fortress is considered. The inclusion of the latter is always a problem for tests; the FX‑23 model chosen by Kippari is relatively large, and would weigh nearly 18 kg were the same design built from steel. Accordingly, the reader should really try to view the results on a size-for-size basis, especially if an anchor of different size to those tested here is required.

Voile Magazine May 2012

French magazine Voile has accrued a number of anchor tests to its name. Historically French products have been the focus, at the expense of other anchor types more common in the rest of the world. In this iteration the Rocna and a few other international brands were added to the list of contenders, which were tested on a “loose and loamy sand” seabed. The assistance of the French SNSM (analogous to the British RNLI) was employed, and it was one of their boats tasked with the pull testing.

Voile selected a total of fourteen anchors, and in their write-up and analysis of results separated them into three groups: “plate” anchors (symmetrical flat fluke types), “light” anchors (aluminium), and “plow” anchors (asymmetrical types). This last misnomer – less than half of those in the “plow” group were actually plows – may be forgiven as the writers have avoided the apples-to-oranges comparisons of different types and materials seen all too often in other tests. In the other categories, the light aluminium Spade and Fortress turned in good linear pull results but both failed physically (“twisted”) under the stress of the veering test.

This write-up did not include several of the traditional types usually seen, particularly the CQR and Bruce. The CQR was tested but would not reliably set and was excluded from the final results. The genuine Bruce is no longer manufactured but Voile tried to test the “Ray”, a knock off version by Manson, which also would not set and was similarly excluded from the tabulated data.

Test design

This test does suffer from an unfortunate tendency amongst magazines to measure loads whilst dragging the anchors, the testers apparently apathetic toward the notion that the primary function of an anchor is instead to stay where it was set. John Knox’s article in Practical Boat Owner (overviewed below) is an excellent counter-example of measuring the right properties in the right manner, which other publications could benefit from following.

Nevertheless, drag data of this sort is informative because, if the anchor is to drag, it is important that it continues to provide as much resistance as possible whilst doing so. When pulled beyond its yield, a good anchor will remain properly embedded rather than suddenly releasing, and should continue to bury down to where firmer substrate may provide a more secure holding.

Additionally, figures for “skewed holding”, or veered pulls, were measured by Voile to add to their conclusions. This data increases credibility and relevance to the real world where a general purpose anchor must do much more than simply provide good holding power in simple linear pulls.

Overviewed here are only the results for the “plow” group of asymmetrical general purpose anchors.

Voile dragged their anchors at an increasing velocity, measuring resistance at speeds from 0.1 knots to 0.4 knots. The latter was the penultimate speed, supposed to represent a dragging vessel in high winds or tide, and it is the figures for this that are charted in dark red in the graph below.

The results of the veered pulls are charted in yellow. This data is not normalized or adjusted for the varying sizes of the anchors.

While the “0.4 knots” pull data is not directly representative of the actual static holding power of the anchors, together with the veered pulls these results give a reasonable picture of relative anchor performance.

Practical Boat Owner (John Knox) August 2011

Scotsman Professor John Knox has a history of anchor testing, write-ups of which have appeared in Practical Boat Owner before. Introducing this article, he describes his experience tenuously anchored to a CQR in the Inner Hebrides during a storm in 1988, and how this led to the testing of anchor types in order to best appraise performance.

Knox examined eight different anchor types, with the addition of multiple sizes of a few. He used tidal pools on sand flats on the west coast of Scotland, using a custom rig to exactly control pull forces and speeds.

Anchors ranged from small 5 kg (11 lb) to medium 15 kg (33 lb) examples. Unlike the dump-and-pull technique frequently used in other tests, Knox used a carefully designed rig powered by a winch and purchase system with a slightly elastic line. The anchors were pulled with intermittent pauses, allowing the candidate to rest and settle according to the pull maintained by the elasticity of the “rode”. This provided a figure for what Knox labels SHF (“Static Holding Force”). This process was repeated until the figures for SHF had leveled off and were judged unlikely to increase with further pulling – this final plateau dictated the anchor’s recorded holding power.

This methodology provides graphs of the anchor’s intermittently recorded SHF figures over time during each set, the shapes of which are also of direct interest. A poor design will give fluctuating and unstable SHF numbers – or an anchor that sets poorly and with shallow depth will quickly hit its plateau, while a good performer will show a steady rise stabilizing only at a relatively high force level.

Knox seems well aware of the various pitfalls of anchor testing, and has avoided many of them in this test. His pull figures were firstly normalized against the results for a particular anchor for each session, to account for variations specific to that day or seabed area. Consolidated results were then further analyzed on a weight-for-weight basis and presented as “efficiency” values. The smaller anchors of each type, where multiple weights were tested, were found to be less efficient that the larger versions; nonetheless the results are presented without further analysis.

The below chart shows both normalized holding power and the rated efficiency values.

This weight-for-weight efficiency measure is a fair approach in principle but does favor anchors with reduced strength (thinner section profiles and the like resulting in lower weights for a larger fluke surface area). It also fails to account for manufacturing tolerances outputting a lighter or heavier sample for what is really the same nominal ‘size’. For example, the Rocna 15 tested is nominally 15 kg but measured by Knox at a conservative 16.2 kg, while its Spade S80 competitor with an equal listed mass was found to shortchange its owner at only 13.3 kg. These variances combine to favor the undersized anchor in results – unduly so, because while tolerances or wear of material on a used anchor may cause significant variation, the surface area of the fluke, which dictates performance, is not affected by these factors.

The below chart depicts the same data as above, but with the efficiency values re-calculated based on nominal sizes.

Larger anchors may expect to gain higher efficiency ratings, and this is borne out in this test when two sizes of the same type are compared. This is most obvious in the small sizes selected; by simple virtue of size, 15 kg anchors may expect their fluke tips to find better quality substrates than their 4 or 6 kg little brothers which have to make do with only the very top layer of the seabed. More telling is when a smaller anchor is proven to be substantially more efficient than its larger competitor.

West Marine, SAIL , & Yachting Monthly 2006

The big American retail chain has conducted a number of anchor tests over the years, and 2006 saw it put together a series of trials on three different sand seabeds with no less than fourteen different anchor types. They used real world locations and a realistic rode make-up.

Brief summaries of the results were included in the 2007 and 2008 West Marine catalogs. Additionally, staff from magazines SAIL and Yachting Monthly were present and proceeded to publish their own write-ups of the testing. These write-ups were problematic with confused analyses of the data and outright contradiction of one another on a number of details, but SAIL provided a good overview of the results in a chart averaging holding power and peak resistance.

Anchors of approximately 15 kg (35 lb) were selected, mostly steel but unfortunately including a few with part or whole aluminium construction. The aluminium Fortress FX‑37 Danforth-type chosen is relatively large compared to the other anchors tested, a size that would weigh in at over 25 kg (55 lb) if its aluminium was swapped to steel. Aluminium is weaker than steel, especially when compared to high strength grades: no less than two Fortresses were damaged and put out of action during this testing.

The testers used a short 20′ (6 m) length of 5/16″ (8 mm) chain, coupled to 1″ (25 mm) nylon to make up the rest of the rode. Tests were conducted at scopes of 7:1, 5:1, and 3:1, by a suitably large motorboat permitted to run up a maximum force of 5,000 lb-force (2,270 kgf). Consistency and reliability of the contending anchors was measured by further varying the testing to cover three different locations with different variations on a theme of hard sand.

The ability of the anchors to deal with a variety of tough (hard to penetrate) bottoms was well examined in this test, and the results serve to show up magazine “tests” which do not conduct repeat trials. Some anchors gave high peak results during some trials, but let themselves down during others. Consistency is a critical element of any anchor’s performance.

This table contains the summary comments published by West Marine themselves. Charted data results are below.

Averaged results

SAIL published the below chart, which graphs three different metrics if applicable for each anchor. “Max before releasing” is the only figure presented for all (except two anchors which failed to set): this is the most important, averaged “holding power” or static resistance. “Max pull” is the peak resistance measured by the testers, either static (holding) or dynamic (dragging) – this figure should be higher than “Max before releasing”, as a good anchor will give increasing resistance as it is dragged beyond yield. The absence of this figure, where it was lower than the static holding power, does not tell a pleasant tale for that type.

The above chart makes no analysis of efficiency on a weight-for-weight basis, and there is a lot of variance in size between the anchors tested. If the same data is weighted for anchor size then ranked in order of increasing “Max before releasing”, the picture looks like this:

Lastly, the magazines can be ignored, and the raw data released by West Marine may be analyzed directly. This chart shows the averaged “holding power” of all test pulls, a few of which were apparently ignored by the magazines. Only the original numbers are used (unweighted).

And you, how are you fixed for anchors?

The well-thought-out choice of the right anchor

In the belief that the worst danger at sea is land , I have never liked coastal bottoms and unnecessary anchoring maneuvers but, that time, I had no other choice, so I agreed to drop my Bruce in about 10 meters of water, slacking three of four lengths of chain.

However, when we decided to weigh anchor, my anxious prophecies proved to be well founded: the only one fluke of the anchor had got stuck under a huge rock and it wouldn’t come out. I’ll spare you the report of our four hours of hard work, the “noisy” silence of my bathing crew and the clumsiness of an Austrian motorboat owner who had given up after the useless aid. I had already started to calculate the possible damage caused by the loss of my Bruce and of about 50 meters of chain and, at the end, we freed ourselves also thanks to the providential intervention of a patient long-experienced fellow countryman who helped me tripping the anchor, by using a makeshift buoy rope I had created and letting it running along the chain.

Some years ago, Marco Sassu defined the anchor as “ a metal tool designed and used to grip on the seabed…and that should have some specific features, including: 1. An easy grip on the sea bottom; 2. A stable grip; 3. An easy arrangement.

Today, the most frequently-used anchor types are highly sophisticated and, in addition to their weigh, which should be proportionate to boat displacement, they are also distinguished by the type of sea bottoms they are designed for. So, for example, sand, gravel or pebble anchors feature large flukes in order to be more resistant while thin-fluke and sturdy-claw anchors are the best option for hard mug or rocks .

The most classic and most well-known anchor type among boaters is the Admiralty anchor , perfect for any type of sea bottom, but fallen into disuse among yachtsmen because of its encumbrance and the caution required to perform maneuvers.

Invented in 1972 by Peter Bruce, the Bruce anchor was originally designed to offer an efficient anchorage device for oil platforms . More compact than a C.Q.R. or a Danforch anchor, it is widely used among boaters and appreciated for its excellent grip on both sandy and muddy sea bottoms.

Thanks to its excellent grip and considerable weight, the Hall anchor

is  generally used to anchor big ships or big vintage yachts . Smaller and lighter , the umbrella anchor – I don’t mind calling it by its technical name, grapnel – is an excellent option for RIBs and tenders because it can be closed and stowed quite easily.

Of course, there are many other types of anchor, such as Delta , Fortress , Foblight , Salle ,  Britany anchors and so on but I would like to say a few words about the connections between the anchor and the boat, technically knows as mooring lines.

However, if you care about your boat and crew’s safety, there’s only one rational choice: a chain, which should be at least 5 times longer than the overall length of your yachts. In addition, thickness of flukes, in millimeters, should be nearly equivalent to your boat’s meters.

Some experts think that it’s good to have three or four complete mooring lines on board and, in support of their theses, they mention the legendary Moitessier who, on board his Joshua, carried an equipment consisting of 6 anchors, 170 meters of chain between 10 and 12.5 mm and even 410 meters of nylon cable between 12 and 22 mm.

And you? H ow are you fixed for anchors?

• The Sailor's Comprehensive Handbook: Mastering the Art of Anchoring from Snubbers to Chains

Anchoring a boat or yacht is both an art and a science, and no, it's not just about throwing some heavy metal overboard and hoping for the best. What is an anchor snubber? Why is it important to understand the art of anchoring? Whether you're new to boating or a seasoned sailor, this article aims to be your comprehensive guide. From anchor snubbers to anchor bridles, yacht anchors to sailing anchors, we will delve into it all. Strap in!

Snubbers: What Are They and Why Do You Need Them?

Snubbers: the unsung heroes of your anchoring system. Acting as shock absorbers, snubbers help to ease the stress exerted on your boat, anchor, and chain by wind and waves. They are a must-have in any serious sailor's toolkit, providing a sense of security when mooring your vessel.

Types of Snubbers

When it comes to snubbers, variety is the name of the game. Primarily, you'll find two types—chain snubbers and line snubbers. Chain snubbers are generally heavier and more durable, whereas line snubbers offer more elasticity and are lighter, making them easier to handle. Each type has its pros and cons, which we'll explore in depth later.

Anchor Snubber: What is it?

Role in anchoring.

Imagine you're the rope in a tug-of-war game. You're pulled from both ends and subjected to enormous pressure. Now, insert an elastic band in the middle of that rope. The stress would distribute better, wouldn't it? That's precisely what an anchor snubber does. It acts as the "middleman" that eases the tension between your boat and the anchor chain, especially under adverse weather conditions.

A typical anchor snubber comprises a length of rope, usually made of a high-strength material like nylon, and often includes a chain hook. This setup allows the snubber to attach securely to the anchor chain, reducing the direct pull on your boat's structure and fittings.

How To Anchor A Boat

Pre-anchoring checks.

Before you dive into anchoring, first take stock of your surroundings. Check the weather forecasts, assess wind conditions, and know the water depth. Your boat's GPS and depth finder will come in handy here. Ignoring these checks is like going into a battlefield blindfolded—a rookie mistake you'd rather not make.

The Anchoring Process

Anchoring a boat is a multi-step process that begins with selecting an appropriate anchoring spot. Once you have found the ideal location, lower the anchor smoothly while letting out the chain. After you think the anchor has settled, let out more chain and attach the snubber. Finally, slowly reverse your boat to set the anchor firmly into the seabed. It's a delicate dance that requires keen attention to detail.

Anchor Bridle: Another Level of Anchoring

Definition and function.

If an anchor snubber is your anchoring system's shock absorber, consider the anchor bridle to be its stabilizer bar. It serves a similar function to a snubber but provides a balanced distribution of the load across two points on your boat. This adds an extra layer of stability, especially crucial for larger boats like yachts.

How to Use It

Setting up an anchor bridle is straightforward. Attach the two ends of the bridle to strong points on either side of your boat's bow. Then hook the bridle to your anchor chain using a chain hook or shackle. Now you've got a robust system that can withstand the trials and tribulations of the open sea.

Yacht Anchors vs. Sailing Anchors

At first glance, you might think an anchor is an anchor, right? Wrong. Yacht anchors and sailing anchors may serve the same basic purpose, but they are as different as chalk and cheese. Yacht anchors are generally heavier, more robust, and designed to hold much larger vessels. On the other hand, sailing anchors are built for agility and are usually lighter.

Importance of Choosing the Right Anchor

Think of your anchor as a mountain climber's pickaxe. It's your primary support and must be suited to the terrain—or in this case, the type of boat you have. Using the wrong type of anchor could lead to drifting, or worse, your boat could break free, resulting in potential damage or loss.

How Does an Anchor Work?

Basic principles.

The underlying principle of how an anchor works is relatively straightforward—it digs into the seabed to create resistance, thereby holding your boat in place. But it's not just the anchor that does all the work; the anchor chain also plays a significant role. The weight and length of the chain help in setting the anchor deep into the seabed, providing an added layer of security.

Common Mechanisms

You'll find several types of anchors on the market, such as fluke, plow, and claw anchors. Each has its unique mechanism and suitability for different seabeds. Fluke anchors are great for sandy and muddy bottoms, plow anchors excel in rocky and grassy conditions, while claw anchors offer a good all-around performance but may not excel in any particular type of seabed.

Anchor Chain Hook: The Little-known Helper

Also known as the anchor chain connector, the anchor chain hook is a small but vital piece of equipment. Its main role is to attach your snubber or bridle to your anchor chain securely.

Uses in Anchoring

The chain hook might be small, but its importance is anything but. It ensures that the snubber or bridle stays in place, effectively transferring the load and preventing any potential weak points in your anchoring system.

Sailing Anchors: Special Requirements

What sets them apart.

Sailing anchors are generally designed with mobility in mind. They are lightweight and easy to maneuver, which makes them ideal for smaller sailing vessels that don't have the horsepower to lug around a heavy anchor.

Best Practices

When choosing a sailing anchor, go for one that is corrosion-resistant and designed for various seabeds. You never know where your sailing adventures might take you, so it's better to be prepared for all eventualities.

How Much Anchor Chain Do You Need?

Length vs. depth.

When it comes to determining how much anchor chain you need, the key factor is the depth of the water. A commonly used rule is the "5:1 scope," meaning you need five times the length of chain as the depth of the water. But remember, this is a rule of thumb and should be adjusted based on other conditions such as wind and currents.

Factors to Consider

There are other variables to consider too, like the weight of your boat, the type of seabed, and even the local tide. And let's not forget the 'snubbing' element. A longer chain means your snubber will have to work less, and this can extend the life of your anchoring system.

Anchor Chain Size: Importance and Considerations

Diameter and link types.

Choosing the right chain size is not just about length. The diameter and the type of links are also crucial factors. A chain with too small a diameter may not be strong enough to hold your boat, especially in challenging conditions. Also, be mindful of the link type; calibrated chains are usually the best choice as they fit most windlasses.

Significance in Anchoring

A mismatch in chain size could compromise your entire anchoring system. Too heavy a chain for a light boat could lead to poor setting of the anchor, while a chain that's too light might snap under pressure, leading to potentially dangerous situations.

Line Snubber: Alternative to Chain Snubbers

Definition and role.

Line snubbers are made from high-strength nylon and are generally used for lighter boats or as a temporary anchoring solution. They offer excellent elasticity, making them an effective shock absorber in turbulent conditions.

When to Use It

Line snubbers are perfect for smaller boats or dinghies and can also be used as a backup for your primary snubber. However, for larger boats or more permanent anchoring solutions, a chain snubber is generally recommended.

Common Mistakes in Anchoring

Misjudgment of depth.

This mistake is more common than you'd think. Always use accurate depth measurement tools to avoid this blunder. Remember, the water may look shallow, but appearances can be deceiving.

Wrong Type of Anchor Used

From fluke anchors to plow anchors, each type has its specific uses. Using the wrong kind of anchor can lead to inefficient anchoring, and in the worst case, your boat drifting away.

Whether you're a weekend sailor or a maritime aficionado, understanding the intricacies of anchoring—snubbers, anchors, chains, and all—is indispensable. It's more than just dropping a piece of metal into the sea. It's about understanding the mechanics, the types, and the techniques that ensure you, your boat, and everyone on board remains safe and secure.

Armed with this knowledge, you're now better equipped to tackle the challenges and joys that come with anchoring a boat. So go ahead, set sail and anchor away, but do it wisely.

FAQs: Anchoring

It's a device that acts as a shock absorber between your boat and the anchor chain, reducing stress and potential damage.

Different anchors are suited for different types of seabeds and boat sizes. Choosing the wrong type can lead to ineffective anchoring.

It's similar to a snubber but distributes the anchoring load across two points on your boat, offering enhanced stability.

The general rule is a 5:1 scope, but this can vary based on several factors such as boat weight, seabed type, and weather conditions.

Misjudging the water depth and using the wrong type of anchor are common errors that can lead to ineffective anchoring or even accidents.

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

With their new 88  footer from the Double Deck range, Sunreef are unveiling an ultra-comfortable cruising catamaran built for an experienced boating family, and are confirming their ability to complete fully customized projects on the same timescale as production boats.

It took no more than 9 months for the Sunreef 88 DD, first announced at the 2016 Cannes boat show, to see its hulls hit the water in Gdansk, Poland.  Yet this is not just a well-honed semi-custom boat, but a brand new model in the range which is already known to connoisseurs and necessarily demanding owners. Having owned many of the best in English and Italian motor yachts, this family got into sailing with a beautiful 25 meter ketch.  The natural instability of a heeling monohull prompted them to ask Ian Sellers, their skipper, to think of another solution.  The choice of a sailing catamaran was a logical one: the space, stability, low draft, panoramic view and the economical running are irrefutable arguments for those who want XXL-sized comfort.  

A good average speed to cross the Atlantic or to reach new anchorages in the Caribbean islands after a beautiful summer season in the Mediterranean also guided their choice.  It simply remained to find a shipyard capable of satisfying the wishes of the owner.  With a budget of more than 4 million euros, this owner was looking for a boat that was not just ultra-equipped and of the highest quality, but a unit that was entirely made ...

DISCOVER THE MODEL

Description.

The start of the ambitious Sunreef 88 Double Deck project was officially communicated during Sunreef Yachts’ press conference at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2016. After eight months of intensive work, the shipyard proudly announced the launch of this catamaran with a zealous, sporty look.

An experienced yachtsman switching from a massive motor yacht , the owner decided to commission the Sunreef 88 Double Deck to pursue a more stable navigation style with greater living space. Indeed, a challenging project for the shipyard’s engineering and design teams.

Nonetheless, this journey was destined to keep the promise of delivering a state-of-the art fully customized sailing catamaran from the start. To achieve the goal of building a seaworthy and dynamic catamaran, Sunreef Yachts’ team of naval architects conceived a completely new yacht design which seemed far sportier than the rest.

Same as all yachts within her range, the Sunreef 88 Double Deck too features a mezzanine level inside the saloon and a spacious master stateroom with a panoramic view in the bow part of the main deck. However, her superstructure was granted a more aerodynamic aspect. As a result, the 88-footer emphasis equally on both performance and luxury, offering over 300m² of living space and an outstanding sailing experience.

Despite this, the Sunreef 88 Double Deck remains a family-friendly yacht offering the best of comfort and safety. The innovative composite superstructure of the sailing yacht conceals a smart and functional layout with luxurious accommodations for eight guests and up to five crew members.

Upon the owners’ request, the interior decor of the Sunreef 88 Double Deck features exclusive natural materials: Chambord oak, linen, leather, natural stone, and quartz tiles – all contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the sailing yacht . The feeling of warmth was also achieved through applying numerous orange accents to the interiors – an important color for the owner’s family who consider it to be a symbol of energy.

From the same people who brought you the original Sunreef Yacht, comes the new Sunreef 92 Double Deck , with a new design which not only streamlines the deck house, but tops it with a giant 40 m 2 fly bridge.

This was inspired by similar designs found on other super yacht designs. In collaboration with K-Epsilon and Rivoyre Ingenierie , The Sunreef Naval Architecture Bureau has intensely studied performance and sea capabilities using state of the art CFD, computational flow dynamics to create the ultimate in catamaran luxury.

Using integrated stepped hull chins, the Sunreef 92 Double Deck catamaran increases interior space, without compromising performance. Now this yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests, in up to 5 double luxury suites, as well as a crew of four.

Sunreef’s 92 Double Deck also features a canoe style boom and carbon mast, one of this manufacturer’s specialties. How are they able to accomplish such feats? They added a new mezzanine floor, which includes a coffee table and lounge, located on the port side of the main deck dining area, freeing up more space below for larger cabins and storage space, or even more suites if you prefer.

Because of this innovative design modification, now the owner’s suite occupies two floors of the entire front area of this yacht, with a private luxury office, gym and leisure area on the upper level, with the bathroom, wardrobe and storage area below deck. Each cabin has an extended size, three way access to their King sized beds, with spectacular panoramic sea views. Not only this, but each luxury suite comes with its own separate bath and shower area, large closets, storage lockers, as well as their own air conditioning and a comprehensive entertainment system.

With a LOA of 27 meters, an 11.2m beam, and a 1.6m draft, this super yacht has a 80 ton displacement. It will also be powered by two 405HP 1200 L/3170 Gal engines, and will be able to cruise at speeds up to 15 knots. The 70m 2 cockpit will also include a large dining area, sunbathing mattresses, and diving equipment. Its spacious fly bridge is fitted with a jacuzzi, two wet bars, barbecue, ice makers and even a pair of jet skis. It will also include a tender, hidden in a specially built locker under the main sun pad of the cockpit.

Even though this is only the second of such models, it isn’t hard to see why the Sunreef 92 Double Deck sailing catamaran is on it’s way to be one of the most sought after luxury yachts. With it’s innovative design, state of the art electronics, and focus on luxury, the Sunreef 92 Double Deck is top of the line, and a must for people who may still think they have it all. Don’t miss out on your own little piece of paradise.

Jamaica Diaspora

A seafaring adventure on island routes double-decker catamaran cruise.

Embark on a luxury catamaran cruise adventure out of Ocho Rios, Jamaica that takes adventure to new heights.

Standing on the dock, I pause a moment to let my gaze travel slowly upwards at the gleaming catamaran floating before me. Rocking gently in the calm Caribbean Sea, the beautiful double-decker  Calipsoul  seems familiar yet exciting and new to me all at the same time. I had chosen Island Routes Catamaran Dunn’s River Cruise the last time I was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. It had been the perfect combination of relaxation and excitement that I had been looking for. We had also done the romantic Lovers Rock evening cruise, literally sailing into the sunset together. Making the cruise reservation Both times it had turned out exactly as promised and this time around when I knew I was heading back to Jamaica, I reached out to the wonderfully helpful Island Routes team yet again. I spoke with them about how much I had enjoyed the last catamaran excursion I did with them and shared that this time I would be coming with a group of friends and family of all ages. I had enjoyed the snorkeling aspect of the Dunn’s River cruise so much but it had been fairly short and some of my group said they really wanted to let loose and relax.

Island Routes Reggae Family catamaran cruise They suggested the Island Routes Reggae Family catamaran cruise. They explained that it was like The Dunn’s River cruise minus the climbing, which my mom was happy to hear about, and a lot of time spent exploring the underwater world. Then they told me how great my timing was as they now have a brand new double-decker catamaran! To be honest, I couldn’t quite picture it so I didn’t know what to expect. Standing here, about to step onto the Calipsoul , I am filled with delight as the kids all leap aboard. We aren’t the only family on board that day and as my group is fairly large, coming over on the shuttle service from the Beaches all-inclusive family resort, I had been worried about feeling crowded. Yet, what we discover is the perfect blend of being able to find ample areas for ourselves while also having the opportunity to meet other people as equally excited as we are.

Snorkeling lesson Once in the water, we are directed by the crew, who have joined us, where to swim and, along the way, they make sure to point out coral formations and beautiful fish ensuring we have an amazingly immersive experience (pun intended). I explore for ages and I am very excited as I brought my waterproof camera with me this time and aim to meet my self-imposed challenge of taking an underwater selfie with tropical fish. Although unsuccessful because they move pretty quickly, I still have a blast. Suddenly, someone is tapping me on my shoulder and I pop my head up to see one of the crew members guiding me back to the boat. Making my way back I realize that, as strong a swimmer as I am, I’m pretty happy to have the life vest on as it allows me to keep looking underwater while I make my way back without having to put in too much effort in keeping myself headed in the right direction so all my focus is on the magical world below me. Trampoline for the kids, hammocks for the adults We climb aboard and the teenagers head to the trampoline area (I was told that’s what it’s called). For people who may not normally hang out on a boat, this area serves an engineering purpose but is also a pretty cool place to just hang out on as it’s like a flat stretched-out hammock where you can just lay out and chill. I divest myself of the fins, mask, and vest and realize I’m pretty hungry! Lunch on the ocean Luckily, the food comes out and everyone piles up their plates with tropical fruit, delicious wraps and chips, and salsa, and we head for a sunny spot on the upper deck of the catamaran. We start chatting with other people and decide it’s just about the right time for the rum version of that delicious fruit punch (after all we’re in Jamaica, how can we pass up the delicious rum when no one is driving or diving). My husband opts for a cold Red Stripe instead and leans back to work on his tan. Learning Jamaican dance moves We hear music and a lot of laughter below and realize the trampoline is empty. I decide to leave my husband happily tanning and I follow the music only to discover a full-blown dance class, as the crew is teaching everyone the latest Jamaican dancehall dance moves. Although I feel a little self-conscious when I join in, that quickly fades away as everyone tries their best to match the expertise of the crew. Over on the right, two little girls have their own crew member showing them what to do and they catch on quickly, delighted grins lighting up their faces. I manage to muddle through and I’m pretty sure my sister is going to show these videos to everyone once we get back home for an evening full of a similar level of laughter at my expense. In that moment though, I don’t care. I feel the salt from the sea drying on my skin, my hair is a tousled mess and I’m dancing with my children in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. This, I think, is what happiness is.

First Sunreef 88 double deck catamaran launched

The first hull in the Sunreef 88 range of double deck sailing catamarans has been launched in Gdansk for a European owner, the Polish yard has announced.

This fully personalised multihull superyacht measures 26.82 metres LOA and was styled inside and out by the in-house team at  Sunreef Yachts .

In a statement, the Polish yard added that the design of the Sunreef 88 is “a great display of the shipyard’s non-conformist attitude and a genuine example of an avant-garde sailing catamaran concept”.

Captain Ian Sellers added: "She is a beautifully crafted, fully customised transoceanic catamaran, with superb quality and finish."

The design brief was focussed on three key themes: luxury, performance and privacy. To this end, the Sunreef 88 features more than 300 square metres of living space — an impressive figure for a yacht of this size, proving that bigger isn't always better .

This two-deck sailing yacht will feature an extensive flybridge with a central helm station and plenty of al fresco dining and relaxation spaces. Back aft, the cockpit features a central dining table with seating space for ten guests as well as a second sunbed, making good use of the Sunreef 88's 11.2 metre beam.

The in-house design includes sporty and dynamic exterior lines, as well as a fully customised interior layout. Key features include a mezzanine level in the saloon and a main-deck owner's cabin , which boasts superb views out to sea through panoramic windows.

Auxiliary power comes from a pair of 425hp engines drawing on a total fuel capacity of 8,000 litres, while her total sailplan is in excess of 345 square metres.

Sunreef added that the designers drew inspiration for this single-masted sailing yacht from the 35 metre flagship yacht Che , which was launched in 2010. The Sunreef 88 is the sixth superyacht from the Polish yard, which has also created the Sunreef 102 yacht Ipharra .

Some of the best decking materials include:

• Wood: Cedar, redwood, and tropical hardwoods offer a classic look but require regular maintenance.
• Pressure-Treated Lumber: Affordable pine that resists rot and insects but may need staining.
• Composite Decking: Low-maintenance blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, available in various colors.
• PVC Decking: Synthetic option resistant to stains, scratches, and fading, but can be pricey.
• Aluminum Decking: Lightweight, durable, rust-resistant, suitable for water areas, but more expensive.
• Vinyl Decking: Low-maintenance, moisture, and rot-resistant, but quality varies.

It’s better to build a patio when:

• Privacy is a priority: Patio provides a sense of privacy, especially when enclosed.
• Budget and low maintenance are the priority: Patios are generally more cost-effective to build and require less maintenance.
• The ground is flat: For even ground, constructing a patio is easier and more straightforward.

It’s better to build a deck when:

• Scenic views are desired: Decks offer better views.
• You are fine with obtaining building permits and inspections: Decks typically require permits and inspections due to their structural impact on the home.
• The ground is uneven: If your backyard has slopes or uneven terrain, a deck can provide a stable and level outdoor space.
