7.5 Operating tips
Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.
1. When anchoring, power rode out allowing the vessel to take up stern away preventing the rode tangling with
anchor. Use this method for mooring stern first to a jetty.
2. To aid recovery, under power, move vessel towards anchor but not over and beyond, as this can cause damage
to topside.
 As anchor approaches the vessel, use careful adjustments of controls to avoid damaging vessel.
 Scope: As a guide it is recommended that the depth of chain to rope is 7 to 1 at anchor.
When retrieving
anchor do not overload or
stall in windlass.
To prevent damage the
fall-safe pawl MUST NOT be left
to take the entire force from the
anchor rode while at anchor. The
rode should be secured directly to
a bollard, sampson post or cleat
and a chain secured by a chain
stopper.
 WARNING! When at anchor, always ensure a chain stopper is used, or the anchor
rode is tied off to a “strong point”
