While exploring the seabed with my OpenROV Trident ROV, I found my Rocna Vulcan 25 anchor. Article on my anchor selection and resulting project: [ Ссылка ]
I generally stay away from my anchor chain and anchor given the OpenROV has a kevlar tether, which could be a nightmare to untangle. This time I tried to get some good shots of it set, and had some visitors of various kinds during the visit.
I backed down pretty good on the anchor when setting it to the point it brought the bow of the boat around, as it usually does. Every time I have set this anchor, I have to drive over it with short scope to get it to unset and come out of the bottom. Neat to see it set!
General specs:
Rocna Vulcan 25kg (55lbs) anchor
Titan G43 galvanized chain - about 200' payed out
Mantus swivel
35,000 pound Ocean Alexander trawler
Blake Island, Puget Sound, sandy bottom
