Some helpful hints
The basic rules of a good anchoring system
• The selection of the anchor is critical, as it is obviously playing the main part of your anchoring system.
Do not skimp on such an essential
safety gear : the name and experience of an acknowledged
manufacturer is the warrant for your peace of mind.
• Do not overlook the importance of every element in your anchoring system : it is only by selecting top quality elements and assembling them
correctly together that one obtains a perfectly reliable anchoring.
- The chain diameter must be generous (see table), and its length at least 5 times the boat’s length.
- The rope rode : opt for polyamide, which provides good abrasion and tension resistance, and has a good stretching capacity (18 to
25 %) to absorb the surges that waves impart on the anchor.
• Have 2 anchoring systems minimum : the primary anchor at the bow, as the “working anchor” ; the second anchor in an easy-toreach
locker, serving as the “storm anchor”. In any event, all anchoring systems must be ready to use at all times ; they should, if possible, feature
a different type of anchor (for example, a plough anchor at the bow and a flat anchor at the stern). A third anchoring system is also advisable, for
short anchorage, such as “lunch-hooks”, or as an extra security. In this particular case, an aluminium anchor with a weighted rope is ideal, due
to its good holding power and easy handling.
• The scope (length of anchor line) should be determined according to the water depth below your keel and the wind conditions :
- Less than 10 m :
3 times the water depth, up to Force 3;
5 times the water depth, up to Force 6;
7 times the water depth, up to Force 9.
- More than 10 m :
no more than 5 times the water depth.
• Beyond Force 9,
you should set 2 anchors, either each on its own line (allowing a 60° to 90° angle), or both anchors on the same line
with a 2 to 5 m chain interval. In both cases, you should provide a generous scope. A paint colour-coding every metre, on both rope and
chain, will facilitate manoeuvres immensely.
(The anchor weight is only given as an indication, per length
of boat. However, this criterion alone is not sufficient, and
your anchor selection should also recognise the specific
construction of your vessel.)
