Qué cubre este vídeo

Anchoring a catamaran in a confined, rocky lagoon requires a stern-tie technique to prevent the vessel from swinging into hazards. In the Baton Strait of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the crew secures their boat by dropping the primary anchor in five meters of water and running a floating stern line to a coral outcrop.0:04 To prevent chafe against the rock, they thread the line through a section of plumbing hose.1:23 Because charts in this region are unreliable, the crew relies on visual depth assessment and offline satellite mapping apps rather than Navionics, which incorrectly placed their position 0.25 miles inland.11:13 The crew uses a dinghy to deploy the stern line while the boat remains in gear to maintain tension on the anchor chain.5:04 By adjusting the length of the anchor chain and the stern line, they center the boat within the narrow cove.6:58 Using a stern line and anchor chain combination allows the vessel to remain stationary in tight, windless anchorages where traditional swinging room is unavailable.11:48
