A Maryland School of Sailing seminar led by Frank Mummert and Tom Tursi covers anchoring technique, anchorage selection, and ground tackle in depth, drawing on their Chesapeake Bay cruising experience. Mummert describes four specific anchorage options on the Chester River and Corsica River used for ASA 104 classes — including Gray's Inn Creek, which carries weekend small-boat traffic and grounding risk on wind shifts — and explains how wind direction, current, bottom type, water depth, tidal range, and day of the week drive the choice between them.2:50 Tursi recounts anchoring just south of Coinjock, North Carolina in 55°F air and 50°F water, where excess scope on a trip-line float fouled the propeller and required a wetsuit dive to clear it.14:06 The pair compare anchor types — plow, claw, yachtsman, Danforth aluminum versus forged, and the Fortress — and recommend sizing one step above manufacturer charts.33:11 Tursi describes tandem anchoring with a 75 kg Rocna plus a lightweight Danforth shackled six feet back on the chain for large tidal ranges.23:20 Snubbers, chain hooks, riding sails, mizzen use to reduce sailing at anchor, anchor lights at deck level for 360° visibility, and dual independent drag-watch apps — Navionics and Aqua Maps — are all addressed.18:23 Anchoring regulations in Florida and Fort Pierce are discussed, with BoatUS cited as the primary advocacy resource.29:39 Scope calculation for tidal swing and GPS anchor-watch setup round out the practical content.20:49
