A new anchor test by YACHT magazine!.., August 25, 2009
By Ancoralatina

"A new anchor test has been published in the July Issue of the German Nautical magazine YACHT.

Unfortunately… in German!..

Just a few notes:

- Anchors have been tested in three different sea bottoms: Sand – marl/gravel – Mud.
- They have been using a Bavaria 38 sailing boat which is equipped with a Volvo engine D1-30, 20,1 kW / 27,3 hp, not powerful enough to give strong pulls, they have set the upper limit to 250 daN but they say that it is in the range of effort that can be measured with force 5 to 6 wind..
- Two winners with four stars are the Kobra II (198 euros) and the Supreme one ( 387 Euros)
- The Rocna achieved only 2 stars for a price of Euros 440……….
- Supreme ; In sand hold up to the limit 250 daN - in marl/gravel hold up to the limit 250 daN and set uncertainly at 150 DaN in Mud
Rocna: In sand hold up to the limit 250 daN – doesn’t set in marl/gravel – set badly in mud"
