Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Sailing onto and off an anchor without an engine requires careful planning to maintain self-sufficiency in remote cruising grounds like the Gulf of California or Alaska.0:16 When approaching an anchorage, survey the area for other vessels and ensure the holding is reliable, avoiding any lee shore that could pose a danger if the anchor drags.0:33 Reduce speed to approximately two knots by furling the genoa to a storm-jib size before reaching the drop zone.1:04 Use the mainsail to tack slowly while monitoring the depth sounder to confirm bottom conditions.1:23 Once the boat faces into the wind, drop the mainsail, release the anchor, and feed out the chain slowly as the boat drifts backward to prevent piling chain on top of the anchor.1:49 To depart, raise the mainsail while at anchor, then tack back and forth to maintain control while retrieving the gear.2:47 Luff the mainsail to regulate speed and prevent excessive tension on the windlass.2:53 Practice builds the confidence necessary to handle these maneuvers without engine assistance.3:26
