Scope
Scope is de fi ned as the ratio of the length of
the anchor rode to the vertical distance from
the anchor chock to the bottom surface (wa-
ter depth plus the height of the anchor chock
above the water). Under favorable current,
tidal, and weather conditions, a Scope ratio
of 8:1 is considered satisfactory. If the rode
is chain, the ratio may decrease to 5:1 under
the same favorable conditions. It may be
necessary to increase the scope ratio under
unfavorable weather conditions, such as
severe wind and tidal currents, to hold your
yacht fast to the bottom. Scope ratio is very
important. Please refer to your Chapman’s
book for all details on anchor rode.
ANCHOR SAFETY CABLE
Attached to the anchor chain is a safety
cable. This safety cable must be released
before you can use your anchor. This safety
cable must be released manually. The
safety cable will ensure that the anchor is
not released when not being used.
PROPER ANCHORING TECHNIQUE
Proper anchoring techniques are required
for safe anchoring of your boat. Please refer
to Chapman’s book for complete instructions
for anchoring your boat.
