🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchoring in current vs. anchoring in no current and how the vessel behaves relative to the flow of water • The meaning of stemming the current (bow pointing into the current) vs. having the bow downstream • Proper sequence: vessel’s heading and movement at the moment you let go or lower the anchor

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you anchor in a strong current, do you want the bow facing into the current or with the current to maintain control? • Think about what happens to the anchor and chain if you drop the anchor while the vessel is moving with the current versus holding against it. • Which options describe safe and controllable procedures, and which describe actions that could cause the vessel to overrun its own anchor or foul the chain?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option has the vessel under control and stable at the moment the anchor is let go. • Check that the vessel’s bow direction in the chosen option makes sense for safely paying out chain in a current. • Eliminate any choice where the vessel could drift over the anchor or where the current works against your ability to control the ship while anchoring.
