ANCHOR TYPES

• •Poor anchors : Danforth, LWT, Vicinay, non offshore type
• •Good anchors: Stevpris, Bruce FFTS, Bruce TS, Stevin, Flipper Delta

•The anchor must always be tested after running. Heave the winch to 1/3 BS and hold for 15 mins, then slack to working tension

•Depth of burial very important and soil type. The modern anchors have much larger fluke area and are also designed to bury very deeply

•

These modern anchors however must be handled properly
