🔍 Key Concepts

• Control of vessel’s movement when anchoring • Effect of headway vs. sternway vs. no way on on anchor behavior • How to avoid fouling or damaging the anchor/chain when it first touches bottom

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the anchor if the vessel is still moving quickly through the water when it reaches the bottom. • In which condition does the ship’s motion allow the anchor to ‘bite’ and set gradually without being dragged or skipped along the bottom? • Consider whether you want some gentle motion to help the anchor set, or no motion at all, and whether that motion should be ahead or astern.

✅ Before You Answer

• Before choosing, picture the relative motion of the ship to the bottom at the moment the anchor is let go. • Consider what condition will minimize shock load on the cable when it comes taut. • Verify which option best allows you to pay out cable under control, rather than all at once or under heavy strain.
