Anchoring & Mooring
ANCHORING & MOORING
Anchoring, mooring, tying up, all require certain techniques and appropriate ground tackle to ensure safe and secure anchoring is achieved. Basic anchoring consists of common sense, determining the location, dropping the anchor, laying out the rope and chain, and assessing where the vessel ends up. Every situation will be different but the basics remain the same; determine a suitable location, survey the surrounds (GPS, chart or sounder often confirm your visual view), be mindful of prevailing wind, tide and other vessels. If the location is good, approach from the stronger down wind or down current and as you arrive at the desired location, the vessel should be stopped and the anchor quickly lowered, remaining under control, creating a relatively straight lie for the rope and/or chain. When feeding out the rope or chain a general rule of thumb in generally smooth water is to let out a minimum of three times the depth of water to set the anchor and between five and seven times the depth if you are to stay at anchor and the surrounds permit. The vessel should then be gently put astern to help set the anchor and to provide indications of possible dragging. If the anchor continues to drag, or sets after having dragged too far, it should be retrieved and moved back to the desired position or another location chosen.
What constitutes the right anchor for the type of bottom and what’s the best; rope or chain?
Sand anchor
Reef anchor
The most popular of all anchors. Suitable for use in mud or sand. Generally fitted with a retrieval eye for ease of removal if snagged. Stows flat and generally finished in hot dipped galvanising for longevity.
Suited to temporary reef anchoring. If snagged in reef conditions the prongs are designed to straighten with the retrieval load. Vessels anchored with reef anchors should not be left unattended. Finished in hot dipped galvanising.
Hybrid anchor
Plough anchor Ideal for sand and mud bottoms. Provides safe and sure anchoring for heavier craft. Generally fitted with a retrieval eye for ease of removal if snagged. Lead filled tip aids in setting the anchor. Generally finished in hot dipped galvanising but also popular in stainless steel.
Over time companies have improved upon traditional anchor design to create a new breed of hybrid anchors. Anchors such as Lewmar’s Delta and C.Q.R ranges show that improvements can be made to materials and shaping of tried and tested designs in order to reduce weight, increase durability, extend performance and overall enhance anchors capabilities.
Self aligning anchor
Rope
Suited to sand and mud bottoms. Self align anchors roll upright, irrespective of initial drop altitude, within two shank lengths of engaging the seabed. High holding power is obtained by the highly efficient fluke and shank design. Low retrieval force results from the short, broad, single fluke. Retrieval force is generally 30% of the prior holding power. Generally finished in hot dipped galvanising but also popular in cast 316 grade stainless steel.
The primary advantages of rope is its inherent elasticity which creates a shock absorbing effect and its relative light weight. Common types include three strand ‘silver’ (polyethylene staple), three strand nylon (premium rope with excellent elasticity and recoil) and three strand polyester. With the introduction of large drum type rope spoolers an eight or sixteen plait rope is often employed for its non-kink characteristics.
Chain The primary advantage of chain is its inherent weight and that it will not chafe over aggressive sea beds as will rope. The obvious disadvantage when primarily stored in an anchor locker in the bow is its weight. In light winds chain gives a perfect horizontal pull to the anchor and the best holding. In moderate wind, its weight provides for a perfect shock absorbing effect but in strong winds can become tight, increase the jarring effect and possibly dislodge the anchor. Stainless steel chain is mainly used in situations where there is exposure to water / seawater such as boating and yachting. It has excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel chain is suitable for day anchoring but is not recommended for long term anchoring as it can work-harden the chain, making it susceptible to cracking. Galvanised chain offers a high degree of weather and corrosion protection. It is recommended for industrial, commercial or any environment where the aesthetic appearance is of less importance than weather protection.

Traditional hard holding anchors with strong flukes for holding in difficult conditions. Flukes quickly dig into even hard bottom conditions and remain snug. Every anchor is equipped with a 30mm trip ring in the base. When used amongst rocks, the anchor line is commonly secured to the trip ring, with only light lashing around the line and the top ring. If snagged, a tight pull on the anchor line usually breaks the lashing, reversing the anchor to pull free.

A range of compact collapsible open ended economy sea anchors or drogues, designed to complement any boat’s safety equipment. Ideally suited to a wide range of applications and situations including slowing the vessel’s speed in a following sea or strong winds, slowing the rate of swing at anchor, slowing and controlling the wind drift rate and keeping a vessel’s direction true in tidal situations. They are not suitable for storm use. Manufactured from reinforced coated PVC with 25mm webbing reinforcements that run the length of the sea anchor for additional strength. The webbing continues at either end to create a long towing bridle and includes rope attachment loops at each end for ease of retrieval.

Marine Town速 Anchor Connector Swivels - Stainless Steel High quality cast and polished 316 grade stainless steel anchor connector swivels designed for use between anchor shaft and chain or rope (143138). When setting the anchor the swivel prevents the chain from becoming twisted allowing for easy deployment and retrieval. A smooth overall snag free finish helps the swivel slide freely over bow rollers and deck. The captured pin can be easily removed via an allen key (included) and ensures the fastening pin will not loosen when under load. Designed specially for use with rope, the 143138 incorporates wider, smooth rounded jaws to accommodate up to 12mm rope and 10mm thimbles.

The unique shape provides hull protection as well as a boarding step. The high topsides of many modern vessels make boarding difficult from either a marina finger or from small dinghies. The combined fender and step feature allow it to be rigged before entering a marina, allowing the crew to safely and easily step onto the pontoon without resorting to leaping.

When selecting a mooring buoy for your required application please apply the following recommendations: Dan-Fenders test mooring buoys to their maximum values. Buoys/fenders are completely submerged in freshwater when buoyancy tests are conducted. We therefore recommend 60% of the value stated as the units working capacity. All measurements and buoyancies are calculated with a pressure of 0.15 bar (2 psi) at approximately 20ºC (68ºF).

Injection moulded from tough flexible red vinyl. Features metal inflation valve, large pick-up handle and solid injection moulded eye attachment point.
Due to most inflatable fenders having a form of internal valve the problem of controlled inflation arises. Some hand pumps not designed for this purpose can often cause damage by pushing the valve inside the fender or buoy. The Dan-Fender® hand pump is designed and manufactured to fit into the centre of the metal Dan-Fender® valve and most other common fenders for easy and gentle inflation. This hand pump is small and compact at only 200mm long and has an inflation action on the in and out stroke.

BLA Anchor Retriever 141010
Used in conjunction with existing anchoring tackle, the stainless steel ring fits around the anchor rode for deep water anchoring. Motoring forward at 5 to 6 knots lifts the anchor to the float ring. When the anchor chain has fully passed through the ring the anchor is held at the surface. This allows easy retrieval of the anchor rode without the continuous weight of ground tackle.
