Anchoring
The 270 Vantage is equipped with an anchor storage
compartment located in the bow of the boat. Because
there are a variety of anchors, with a variety of uses,
discuss the types of anchors with your dealer to
find the right anchor for your boat.
Considerations
• Wind and sea conditions can affect the
boat.
• Because the boat is not moving through the
water, there is no control.
• Be sure that the anchor will hold under all
circumstances if you are leaving the boat.
• Understand the principles of rode and scope
and their effect on anchor performance.
Proper anchoring requires knowledge of RODE and
SCOPE and understanding the relationship between
rode, scope and anchor performance.
The rode
is the line connecting the anchor to the
boat. Nylon line is ideal because it is light, strong
and stretches, it also can be stored wet and is easy
too handle. Add a length of chain between the anchor
and the nylon line to prevent abrasion of the line.
The scope
is technically defined as the ratio of rode
length to the vertical distance from the bow to the
sea floor. Scope also depends on the type of anchor,
tides, winds, sea conditions and type of sea floor the
anchor is in. Since you want to know how much rode
to use when anchoring, use this common formula:
Rode length
= (bow water depth) X Scope
SWAMPING HAZARD - Anchor from the bow if
using one anchor. A small current can make a
stern anchored boat unsteady. A heavy current
can drag a stern anchored boat underwater.
!
WARNING
The minimum is 5:1 for calm conditions; normal is
7:1, and severe conditions may require a 10:1.
Example:
Rode length = (3 feet + 10 feet) X 7*
Rode length = 13 feet X 7*
Rode length = 91 feet
* Scope may range from 5 to 10 or more. However,
less than 5, the anchor will break out too easily.
NOTICE
Before using the anchor be sure the anchor
line is secured to the eye in the bottom of the
anchor locker.
• Stop completely before lowering the
anchor.
• Be sure there is adequate rode.
• Secure rode to both the anchor and the
boat.
• Keep feet clear of lines.
• Turn on the anchor light when at anchor or
drifting (not under power) at night or in low
visibility.
There is no best way to set an anchor. Experiment to
see how it performs. One method is to turn the rode
around a bit or a cleat and slowly pay out as the boat
backs from the anchor site. When the proper scope
has been reached snub the rode quickly, causing the
anchor to dig in to the sea bottom.
• Reverse the engine slowly to drive the anchor
in and to prevent it from dragging.
• Secure the rode to the bit or cleat.
