These anchor drops get a little out of control to say the least! Today's video is on the top five anchor drop failures.

Com: Usmm: I'll give what enlightenment I can as a sailor. The first 4 videos are basically mechanical failure on the anchor apparatus, called a windlass. The brakes on an anchor windlass are pads, much like on a car or truck(though obviously made tougher).

Com: Uncle: You need some better explanations of what we're seeing. Most viewers have never been on a ship and have no idea what is happening vs what is SUPPOSED to be happening.

Com: Bikers: "We wanted to add a few successful anchor drops" I think you mean. "We didn't have enough to draw it out to 10 minutes so here's some more stuff to look at."
