Anchoring for Pleasure Boaters ...Knowing how to anchor allows you to expand your boating adventures into areas where there are no moorings, docks or marinas.

Anchoring is also a very important skill to have in emergencies. Engine failure and groundings are just two situations where knowing how to anchor can prevent damage to your boat, andharm to the crew. The aim of these four YouTube videos is to introduce the basic skills of anchoring. These notes summarise and supplement that information.

It is important recreational boaters have the right anchor equipment to meet any emergency, and the skipper and crew practice anchoring on a regular basis.
