MOORING AND TOWING
Start the starboard engine.
Raise the anchor to the bridle snap hook and undo the snap hook from the
bridle.
When raising, check that the chain enters the well properly in order to avoid
the chain blocking.
Raise the anchorage slowly, checking that the anchor is placed correctly in its
davit.
When the anchor is close to the davit, check that the tip moves into the roller
in the right direction.
Block the chain by pulling hard on the security hoist: this will jam the anchor
on the davit and prevent it to damage davit or hulls.
Clamp the hoist to avoid the anchor moving on the davit.
