🔍 Key Concepts

• Scope in anchoring (ratio of length of cable to water depth) • How to convert between a ratio (like 6:1) and an actual length • Whether scope is measured on the bottom or through the water column from bow chock to anchor

💭 Think About

• If scope is 6 to 1 and the water depth is 24 feet, what simple multiplication can you do to find the cable length? • Does using a larger scope mean using more or less cable than the water depth? • Which answer choice reflects a cable length that is several times the water depth, not less than it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that scope = (length of cable) : (depth of water) • Check whether any option is less than the water depth (these would not satisfy a 6:1 scope). • Verify that the chosen length is exactly 6 times the water depth, not 5 times or 7 times.
