side that will lie against the

to lie against a piling, rig a
fender board across two or
more fenders. Tying up-
attach bow and stern lines
to dock, hauling boat in

Rig crossing spring lines to limit motion forward and aft. Be sure to allow some
slack in all lines to compensate for tidal activity if present. Never use bow rail,
stern rail or stanchions to secure the vessel, even for brief periods.

your Chapman's or other approved boating guide.
F. Anchoring
Your Hunter comes with an on-deck anchor well and a burying-type anchor as
standard equipment. The anchor is selected to suit the size and weight of your boat
under normal anchoring conditions, and provides its best holding characteristic in
muddy or sandy bottoms.
When anchoring, pay particular attention to the scope of your anchor rode (i.e., the
relationship between the depth of the water and the length of the rode). A good rule of
thumb is to allow a scope of about 7:1 (a rode seven times as long as the vertical distance
from the bow to the bottom). A helpful aid is to mark the rode every 20 feet or so with
knots or other types of indicators. Before dropping anchor, make sure the bitter end is
secured to the cleat in the anchor well.
Also, be sure to consider wind direction, currents, mean low tide depths and other
local conditions when anchoring, as well as the positions of any boats already anchored
nearby.
CAUTION: Anchoring in unusual water and/or weather conditions will require
additional precautions. Consult your Chapman's or other approved guide for
suggestions.
To weigh anchor, motor or sail (under main only) slowly forward. When at a point
directly above the anchor, a quick tug should free it from the bottom. Take care not to
damage the topsides when hauling the anchor aboard. It is good practice to thoroughly
clean the anchor prior to placing it in the anchor well.
