Examples of different types of mooring
Principal figure only
Anchoring:
When you anchor or land temporarily in a natural harbor, ensure enough water depth.
Drop the anchor at a sufficient distance from shore, allowing time for the anchor to
drop and grip and to release enough anchor rope/chain. The anchor rope/chain length
should be at least 4-5 times the water depth. Choosing the right type of anchor and
anchoring method requires boating experience, ask for advice when needed.
Storm anchor:
If you lose engine power at sea and waves are strong, keep the boat headed into the
waves by rigging a sea anchor off the bow (below principal figure). If there is no sea
anchor on board, use a canvas bucket or any object that will offer resistance.
