🔍 Key Concepts

• Yawing at anchor – what causes a vessel to sheer from side to side while riding a single anchor • How a second anchor can be used to limit the vessel’s swing at anchor • Effect of scope of chain (more or less chain) on holding power vs. freedom to swing

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the vessel is swinging too much from side to side, do you want to increase or decrease the ability to swing around the single anchor? • How does placing a second anchor relative to the direction of the yaw help ‘pull’ the bow back toward the middle instead of letting it swing widely? • What is the difference between equal scopes on two anchors versus having one primary ‘riding’ anchor and one limiting anchor?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare which options use two anchors versus only changing the scope on one anchor • Think about whether equal scope on both anchors would keep the vessel aligned or let it lie somewhere between them with less yaw • Consider whether shortening the chain on a single anchor will usually increase or decrease the tendency to yaw in wind and current
