How do you get a stuck anchor out of a boat?
To retrieve the anchor, position the boat directly over the anchor and cleat the anchor line at the bow. Gently idle your boat directly into the wind or current. This force will pull the anchor in the opposite direction from which you originally set it and might be enough to free the anchor.
What is Tandem anchoring?
A tandem anchor rig is where two anchors are somehow connected in line with each other, on a single rode which is deployed from the boat. “Rig” refers to the entire system deployed in the water, i.e. anchors and rode, including shackles and/or swivels.
How do I stop my boat from swinging at the anchor?
The simplest way to reduce your swing circle for the same security is to use an all-chain rode. The heavier the rode, the greater the tendency to lie flat to the seabed and the straighter the pull on the anchor.
What is a Rocna anchor?
The Rocna Anchor is a true multi-purpose anchor that sets and holds in most seabeds, from soft mud to hard sand, clay, grass, and kelp. A specialist anchor for fishermen and divers who run an increased risk of getting their anchor stuck on an undersea obstacle.
Can I get a CAD file of the Rocna anchor?
We are able to supply naval architects or boat builders with accurate CAD files of all Rocna and Vulcan models to support the proper integration of the anchor into a boat’s ground tackle system. Contact us, and with the execution of a simple terms of use agreement these CAD files may be made available.
Is there a recommended size for the Rocna 110?
We do not provide standard recommendations for boats larger than those for which the Rocna 110 (243 lb) would be the recommended size. This is because of increasing complexities of the factors involved.
What is the Rocna knowledge base?
The Rocna Knowledge Base features a large and ever-growing collection of “boat fit cases”, with photos and other information, under Rocna bow compatibility. Popular production boats are covered, and examples of other owners of your boat type successfully fitting a Rocna or Vulcan will allow you to invest with confidence.
