🔍 Key Concepts

• Using an anchor to check the bow while docking (how the bow moves relative to the anchor position) • Effect of anchor position (offshore vs. alongside the dock) on holding power and vessel sheer • Relationship between rudder/steering control and the direction of pull from the anchor cable

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the bow when the anchor is set on one side and the vessel makes sternway or slows—does the bow move toward or away from the anchor? • Consider whether an offshore anchor (set outboard, away from the dock) generally improves or worsens the angle and holding ability of the anchor when checking the vessel • Ask yourself how the rudder’s effectiveness changes when the vessel has little headway or sternway and the anchor cable is exerting a strong sideways pull on the bow

✅ Before You Answer

• Visualize the direction of pull of the anchor cable and how that force acts on the bow • Consider whether the vessel is more likely to sheer toward or sheer away from the side where the anchor is set • Verify which statements describe always/never conditions (absolute terms) and whether they are realistic in real-world shiphandling
