The angle of attack of the pulling force aside:
Isn't it funny how the other anchors start out in hard sand? You can see large parts falling off while the anchors are high speed dragged; that sand looks hard enough to drive on. The rocna starts out in a muddy pool of 'quicksand' that is so soft that even the pieces of mud/sand that the rocna piles up melt back into the surface immediately. Watch the left foot of the guy who tries to work it free after the test sink in. And the rocna gets a nice slow motion pull. All that doesn't necessarily make it a bad anchor, but this video shows a seriously bad test. The test proves two things we already knew: The most important factor in anchoring is the substrate, and good marketing requires artful lying. This was too blunt, mate, try again! |
