Helix Mooring Anchors... one or two? | SailNet Community
2007年7月26日 · S. Well if you had 2 of those anchors on the bottom connected to a mooring ball with a swivel there would be no tangling at all. If you connected the two helix anchors with a short bridle using a three-way swivel, and then lead a single chain up to the buoy, there would be little if any problem or risk with fouling.

2021年7月25日 · Great tip from Seabeau. We have a farmers co op in town with a bunch of helical anchor things. Question. Has any one tried the helical anchors in water. Its non tidal here. My stern would be in maybe 2 feet of water. It seems to me, I could wade out to knee-thigh deep water and sink a couple of 30 inch helical anchors to their eye posts.
Installed a helix mooring anchor last weekend... - SailNet Community
2009年10月15日 · 31. #61 ·Nov 5, 2012. Harry Tams, I googled the anchor/mooring system that you mentioned and here is my take on it. These helix anchors are pretty small meaning that the holding power per helix is going to be pretty low. In a relatively hard bottom, this would be okay for a smaller boat but not a larger one. The trick with helix anchors is ...
Star-pattern Anchor System. Does it work? How to do it?
2008年8月12日 · 2) Helical anchors: I talked with the company and with their "local" installer. He's not that local and the cost to get his installation equipment out to me would be prohibatively expensive. It would also violate the "pull everything out by December" rule that our town has.

2008年5月14日 · A helix anchor, properly installed, can take an incredible load. One US Navy test of helix anchors had the strain gauges pinned at 24,000 lbs. of load when stuff started breaking... Concrete has a density of 145 lbs/ft3, or just 80 lbs/ft3 in …
Putting cleats on concrete - SailNet Community
2008年8月19日 · OTOH, you could use helical anchors simply screwed into the ground behind the concrete, and tie off to those. If this is just a storm precaution, then you could unscrews them and stow them afterwards. Assuming of course that you CAN screw them into the ground, if that's Florida limestone that may be problematic.<G>

Mooring systems - SailNet Community
2007年8月31日 · Since it takes three normal anchors of a large size to make it effective, this system is more complicated to set and more expensive to install. Each anchor in the set must be large enough to hold the boat in storm conditions. Helix anchors - The helix screw anchor was developed for hard sand or weeds and other difficult-to-penetrate bottoms ...
Suggested Mooring Tackle Build - Is it Good Enough?
2011年1月17日 · BTW, the chain size they're telling you is awfully light for a mooring. IMHO, the specifications that is listed in the document they provide is woefully inadequate and quite irresponsible. The document states that you CANNOT use a mushroom anchor or helical mooring anchor by stating that ONLY ENGINE BLOCKS are allowed for use as anchors.
The Kiwi Anchor Rider | SailNet Community
2008年7月17日 · Here's a useful tool to make anchoring safer and more secure. The Kiwi Anchor Rider is a simple anchor weight that slides half way down the anchor rode (chain or nylon line) and adds up to 30 pounds to the catenary of the rode - actually doubling the anchor;'s holding power. The Kiwi Anchor Rider also dampens side to side yaw in gusty ...
