When the chain is occupied, a large holding trial is run. Once the desired length has been run out, the chain is braked and stopped. drop anchor! – The right anchor maneuverĪbove the desired anchorage, the helmsman picks up small speed to leeward and gives the command Drop Anchor! The man/woman at the bow then drops the anchor to the bottom, then the chain is braked sensitively. If the water is too shallow, there would be good bottom static friction, but the wave motion would not be able to be cushioned sufficiently. Because: if the water is too deep, there would be unnecessary chain hanging, and there would be no static friction on the bottom. In addition to sufficient swell space, the right water depth is an aspect that the skip should definitely pay attention to. The water depth – not too deep and not too shallow In general, as much chain as possible should be deployed for optimum static friction on the bottom.Ĥ. If a hawser is used, five to ten times the water depth should be used. The principle is to put three to five times the water depth of chain length. Chain length – a lot helps a lotĪt least as important as the use of a suitable anchor is the correct chain or hawser length. The secondary anchor is made ready for use as a stern anchor, for mooring or for mooring (such as a collapsible stick anchor). It is best if the yacht is equipped with two anchors – one should have a high holding power and can be made ready to drop in a few easy steps from the bow fitting (plate/Danforth or plowshare anchor).
If the anchorage is well visited, one or two shore lines should be deployed in addition to the anchor harness, so the swooping circle can be further minimized. Finally, there should not already be too many yachts anchored in the bay, especially if their schwoj circles are difficult to estimate. You should also pay attention to a suitable anchoring ground. There should be enough space for schwojen, and the water should be deep enough.
The anchorage should preferably be a well-protected bay with offshore wind. the anchorage – avoid leegerwall situation
Six things are what every skipper should consider when looking for the place at anchor for the night. What should be considered when anchoring, how a proper anchor maneuver should be driven, when an anchor watch is appropriate, and how SeaHelp’s Premium Pass helps with anchor diving when the anchor gets stuck during retrieval – skipper tips from SeaHelp’s editorial team for a successful cruise. A skillful anchor maneuver is the basic prerequisite for a quiet night on board, but not the guarantee for it, goes a sailor’s saying.
