If the hook falls of the chain, it means that there is not enough tension on the line. You may 

need to hold slight tension on the snubbing line as you deploy more chain until the snubber 
takes  the  load  of  the  anchorage.  Engage  reverse,  slowly  building  up  to  1500  rpm  to  really 

drive your anchor into the sand. Take transits as you set the anchor so that you know that 
the anchor is not dragging. 

 

It is always advisable to snorkel the anchor and ensure it is bedded in correctly and not just 

lying on its side or hooked on a rock. 
 

Retrieving Primary Anchor: 

 

 

Never use the windlass to pull the yacht to the anchor. The windlass operator should point in 

the direction of the anchor chain so that the helmsman can move slowly in that direction. As 
soon as there is some slack on the anchor chain the bowman tells the helmsman to put the 

engine in neutral and then increase RPMs. Bowman then retrieves all the slack chain. When 
the chain becomes taut then you repeat the process from the beginning.  Ensure the anchor 

does not swing into the bow of the yacht. 

 
Setting a secondary anchor: 

 

 

Your  secondary  anchor  is  a  quick  set  type  of  anchor  and  is  usually  stored  in  the  cockpit 

locker. It  has 30  feet  of  chain  and  about 170  feet  of  line. For this  reason,  we  have  always 
found it easiest to put this chain in the dinghy with two people and deploy it from there. Take 

note  where  your  primary  is  and  drive  away  from  the  yacht  at  a  45-degree  angle  of  the 

primary.  Drop  the  anchor  with  the  shank  pointed  at  the  yacht  and  deploy  the  rode  as  you 
drive back to the bow of the yacht. Tie off at the bow. Once back on the yacht and dinghy 

secured, manually take the slack out of the 2

nd

 rode and tie off. Now engage reverse to 1500 

RPMs as before. 

 

 
Manual operation of the windlass

 

 
If  you  lose  power  to  your  windlass,  start  the  engine  and  rev  to  1500  rpms  to  make  sure  you 

have  not  got  low  battery  voltage

.  Check  that  the  breaker  shown  below  has  not  tripped  in  the 

STBD cabin behind the door.

  If you still have no power, you can operate the windlass manually.  

 

To drop the anchor, insert the windlass handle into the central hole on the top of the windlass. 
 

Turn the handle anti-clockwise so that the gypsy loosens its grip on the chain.  Your anchor is 

now ready to drop.  
 

Remove the safety line or safety pin, and push the anchor over the bow, keeping hands and feet 
clear.  Control  the  rate  the  chain  pays  out  by  tightening  or  loosening  the  wing  nut  with  the 

stainless handle.  

 
When you have paid out enough chain, between 5 to 8 times the water depth, push the handle 

forward to tighten the wing nut. Next, fit the bridle and release more chain on the gypsy so that 
the load is taken up on the snubbing line. 

 

To raise the anchor, put the handle in the outer hole and turn the whole drum clockwise, this will 
wind in the chain. However, it is quicker if you pull the anchor up by hand as the helmsperson 

motors forward a little at a time, to give you slack on the chain.  If you are reasonably fit and 
strong, it is possible to heave an anchor aboard.
