You are going astern (single-screw, right-handed propeller) with the anchor down at a scope of twice the depth of the water. As the anchor dredges, how should you expect the vessel to react?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of a right-handed propeller when going astern • How an anchor dredging along the bottom affects heading and stern movement • Difference between normal stern walk and stern behavior when restrained by an anchor line

💭 Think About

• When a right-handed propeller goes astern in open water, which way does the stern normally walk? Now imagine something holding the bow in place—how would that change the motion? • How does an anchor at a short scope (only twice the depth) influence the ship’s ability to swing or pivot? Does it let the bow move freely or tend to hold it near the line of the cable? • If the bow is influenced by the anchor and cable tension, which part of the vessel (bow or stern) can move more, and how would that affect the apparent rate of stern walk?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the normal stern-walk direction for a single-screw, right-handed propeller when going astern in open water • Consider whether the anchor at 2× depth will increase or decrease freedom of lateral movement of the bow • Decide if the constraint of the anchor will make the usual stern walk appear faster, slower, or unchanged compared to no anchor down
