Most mariners are more concerned about how to handle a storm than how to anchor safely. Yet more boats are lost as a result of poor anchoring techniques than at sea. Discussion is aimed at safe anchoring techniques, especially in unconventional anchorages. Some topics covered in this session are anchor types and sizes, rodes, scopes, chain markings, windlasses, anchoring bow and stern double anchors, trip lines, anchor floats, fouled anchors, deep water, coral and rock, moorings and more!
