I am on page 241 of Roger Olson’s book “Plot Your Course to Adventure”. He is describing a technique for deploying two bow anchors opposite each other. In his diagram the angle is 180 degrees. I am going to try this out. The end result is a type of DIY mooring. I am wondering how others normally deploy two anchors. I am not interested in limiting swinging room. Rather, I want something secure so I can leave the boat alone for a week.
Hi Billy on SV Pixie
Two anchors Imho. Is one too many. BCCs small enough for one claw anchor 35 lbs with all chain ride 5/16 , 7/1 scope relax in good holding or go elsewhere oh and snubbers , nylon
A week in settled weather via Predict Wind stay tuned and have a friend nearby or don’t go
Next topic please…
Cheers
Billy
OK thanks. Roger Olson would disagree. He wrote an entire chapter on it. But you are probably correct. I have not witnessed anyone deploying more than one anchor except when Hurricane Isabel came up the coast. I had 3 out. Glad I did.
