The holding ability of three types of anchors was examined in relation to the resistance against the towing rope set at various angles. Experiments were performed using three type anchors (JIS type, AC-14 type and DA-1 type). These anchors were pulled using the research vessel, Hokuto (19 t). The tension force was measured using a loadcell connected to the towing rope. The experimental results indicated that the DA-1 type anchor showed the highest resistance and the most stable performance, and the JIS type anchor showed the lowest resistance.
