The Ultra appears more common and popular than I had imagined. My only complaint is a relative lack of choices in sizing, 35 to 45 KG is quite a jump. I guess in those times where dropping the anchor

Cheers Nick, All pretty much along with my line of thinking. Its not a cheap exercise so good to have confirmation from others i'm on the the right track. Bryce SM 2K #467

We have a 35kg ultra with the ultra swivel. As a RTW couple, we anchor 10 to 11 months a year. To date, we have never dragged anchor... but we are very careful about setting our anchor. The Ultra is

On my 54 Amel provided a 33kg Wasi, that I feel is slightly undersized for such a vessel. I also think the WASI, although a good anchor, is now out of date and has limited holding power. On board,

Thanks Randall, the 45 ULTRA was my original choice and after looking at it I'm sure it will get a few grins/smirks on the dock. Though along your line of thought I would rather have the peace of mind

Slight rewording. If you don't want to ever end up on youtube for the wrong reason, bigger is better. Your Wasi was chosen by Amel as a good size and would do fine. But for peace of mind. the

If you don't want to ever end up on youtube for the wrong reason, bigger is better. Your Wasi was chosen by Amel as a good size and would do fine. But for peace of mind. the recommended is always one

At the risk of opening a hornets nest I am replacing my 30kg Wasi Bugle anchor with one of the newer breed of anchors. My query is not about which brand or shackles or style though rather

Matt, That is true and Firefly batteries are technically lead acid batteries. They are just so unique and unlike "traditional" lead acid batteries that I put them in their own category. -- Mark

Fire Fly doesn’t care if stored at 50% SOC ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Arno, No problem. That article that I linked to by Compass Marine is by far the most comprehensive that I have found regarding using LiFePO4 batteries in a marine electrical system. I have read it

Mark, Scott, Thanks for the links and additional information. Very interesting and helpful. My point with using voltage to determine SOC is that the whole system on a boat in “action” is not

Thanks Mark, by complete chance I managed to capture that plate on our gearbox in a video I made. Now that I know what I am looking at I have the answer to my question. For anyone who needs to know

Hallo Valentin Ja die Winde scheint es zu sein , ich würde aber immer eine nehmen mit einem Verholspil ( einer Rolle an der Seite ) das erleichtert manchmal die Arbeit mit der Mooring . Bei uns
