Do not throw the anchor over while the boat is making headway, or moving forward. Slowly drop the anchor over the side
of the boat until it touches the bottom as the boat slowly moves back. Usually the length of anchor line used should be 5
to 10 times the depth of the water.
After you have anchored, check your position with landmarks if possible. You need to continue to monitor these
landmarks to make sure you are not drifting.
Strong point of anchor system is designed for a maximum horizontal load of 26kN.
The breaking strength of anchor line shall in general not exceed 80 % of the breaking strength of the respective strong
point.
"Trefoil" anchor is made from stainless steel and have the reputation of not breaking out with tide or wind changes,
instead slowly turning in the bottom to align with the force. The benefits of that anchor are that it are very effective in
boulder bottoms, perform relatively well with low rode scopes and set fairly reliably.

Anchoring can be an emergency procedure. Learn to use your anchor system in calm waters in calm weather.
