Features of Bruce Anchors
Bruce anchor is one of the most popular modern models among yachtsmen. There are several reasons: its unique design, which allows it to burrow deeply into any soil and securely hold the yacht, the manufacturing material options - stainless or galvanized steel, and as a result - resistance to corrosion in sea water with different salt contents.
Popular Bruce anchor belongs to the CQR family, only much more advanced than the classic models. This reliable type of CQR differs from classic designs with a wide flat claw with several powerful “fingers”. It is thanks to this feature that Bruce anchor has excellent holding properties on soft soils, fine rocky bottoms, pebbles and sand in all weather conditions.
Benefits of Bruce Anchors
In addition to the already mentioned advantages, this universal anchor with high holding force can be used on small boats and PVC boats. You can buy this model at the topRik marketplace with weights from 1 to 50 kg.
At the same time, you can choose the option of stainless or galvanized steel - these models are produced from both types of this metal. In both cases, this is reliable protection against corrosion, which is caused by exposure to moisture, and in the case of galvanizing, it also provides protection against galvanic corrosion if the boat hull is made, for example, of aluminum.
On Which Types of Vessels Is Bruce Anchor Used and How to Choose the Right One
It is equally good and reliable both on RIB and on a large yacht - the main thing is to choose the right weight. On large yachts and boats when using Bruce models that are in size and weight, it is recommended to use buoy-ropes.
Most experienced travelers are familiar with the equipment of popular and lesser-known marinas. If there is a danger of galvanization corrosion when mooring in the marina, it is better to buy Bruce anchor made of galvanized steel.
When choosing an anchor, it is important to consider the weight of the boat and its size. Experienced yachtsmen and lovers of water recreation use special tables that correspond to the weight of the anchor, its shape, the weight and dimensions of the boat.
But to make selection easier, you can use simpler formulas.
For calm water without strong currents: anchor weight = 1% of the weight of the loaded boat.
For bodies of water with strong currents: anchor weight = 2% of the weight of the loaded boat.
Take the results of these calculations as a minimum and add to them the number of kilograms that you consider a reliable guarantee.
When choosing a Bruce anchor for your yacht, refer to the following table. They will help you compare the anchor's weight to its dimensions so you can decide whether your boat has enough space to accommodate it.
