Qué cubre este vídeo

Lifting an anchor on a 48-foot yacht requires patience to avoid straining the windlass or driving over the chain.0:45 Nick of 45 Degrees Sailing recommends running the engine in neutral with increased revolutions to boost alternator output and battery charging during the lift.Watch Before operating the windlass, open any non-flush deck hatches to prevent damage from the moving chain.1:13 Keep the rudder centered to maintain a straight heading as the boat moves forward.2:03 Use the weight and momentum of the chain to pull the bow toward the anchor, stopping the windlass whenever the capstan strains to allow the boat to settle.3:06 If the anchor chain pulls at an angle, wait for the wind to straighten the bow before continuing.3:24 Once the anchor breaks free from the seabed, the boat will immediately drift with the wind; in tight anchorages, return to the helm to maneuver into a safe area.7:12 Use short, controlled taps on the windlass control for the final retrieval to prevent damage to the bowsprit.7:40
