    Fantastic series of videos. Very practical and exactly the right level of detail. Perfect for me revising for my occasional charter sailing trips!

    Nice video, but please, please use three or four chain links between your anchor's eye and the swivel to prevent side loading the swivel. This is where they're prone to breaking. Anchor /d-shackle / three links of chain / swivel / chain.

      Interesting suggestion Chris. Makes a lot of sense.

      Exactly. Evenon a mooring mushroom. You need to get a fairlead.

    During our 5-year world trip, we traveled/slept in various weather and sea beds with ultra anchors without any problems. I have an anchor one size larger than my boat needs and a windlass one size larger than the anchor needs.

    Yet another great instructional video. Would have been good to have mentioned use of a snubber. Especially when staying overnight. Great use of graphics too.

    Excellent, thank you once again. We haven't got onto anchoring yet and we'd like to start next year so this was just the job! 😀

    enjoyed the video , how can it be done manually without a windless on a big boat

    Good tutorial. Thanks much mate!
    Minor Feedback: Audio could be slightly better. There some hum in the indoor portions, and a wind sock would reduce wind noise in the outdoor portions.

    Are there any etiquette or rules such as the last person to anchor should move and re-anchor if a problem presents itself as the tide or winds change?

    • @confidencesailing
      @confidencesailing  Рік тому +1

      Certainly if someone ends up over your chain you would expect them to move to allow you to weigh anchor safely, and most people will happily do so.

    I think that you need to take high tide in to account and not low tide. Basically let out enough rode to handle the highest level so you maintain your ratio.

    Great but i live in UK so feet not meters as befitting our great seafaring nation?

    • @confidencesailing
      @confidencesailing  Рік тому

      Whilst that might be a lovely notion, all instruments are set to run in the same unit of measurement as the charts. And depth on the charts I use are all in metric.
      Definitely not sensible to have to convert units of measurement in your head when the pressure is on.

      ​@@davidfarmer2049I agree, though I would go further, cubits and hands, not the new fangled imperial.
