Bonaparte Thank you so much.

 

[Bonaparte]

Great job. Compliments.
But if you cut here claw



And turn claw for 180 degree and weld it again. The anchor will dig much better.

 

[Bonaparte]

Like this:


Or iven beter if you bend claw


You can not bend it because is small peace and it is strong.I cuted it to help me with bending it.

The V form tip you've posted looks like it's made of two parts. But why would the anchor dig better when the top side of the tip is even with the fluke ?

It looks to me like when the fluke top surface is lower than the top side of the thicker tip, then the fluke will have less resistance when the anchor is digging in . . ?

Is that last ‘‘lower ear’’ addition meant to put a brake on it, so the anchor won't dig in too far ?

 

[Bonaparte]

Because wnen the boat pull chain, chain pull anchor and allways anchor firs turn to side and then dig inside.

I am sorry I do not speak english very well. English is not my first language.
I was born in Serbia, then We move to Italy, then we move to Slovenia. So, english is my fourth language.

Your English looks very well to me, and when there are doubts what is meant questions can be asked, so no problem at all there . .

P.S. - E.g. like Otaly is meant to be Italy ? - Which looks like just a typo, as I too have the "O" and the "I" besides each other on the keyboard.

(the "e.g." abbreviation in English is from Latin "exempli gratia" and means "for example" or longer "for the sake of an example")

 

[Bonaparte]

Yes. Italy
