Anchoring is easier with another person on board. First be certain that the line for the anchor is properly attached, to avoid
losing the anchor and anchor line overboard. The end of the anchor line opposite to the anchor is fixed to the boat hull.
The anchor line consists of a stainless steel chain and nylon rope.
Chain will stand up to the abrasion of sand, rock, or
mud on the bottom. Nylon rope will stretch under a heavy strain cushioning the impact of waves or wind on both the boat
and the anchor.
To drop the anchor, select a well protected area, preferably with a flat bottom.
