Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Replacing anchor chain while at anchor requires calm, windless conditions to safely manage the weight of the chain and the vessel's position.7:43 After purchasing new chain, the crew of Jibsea transported it via dinghy to their boat, which was anchored in St. Martin.0:47 They marked the chain with colored zip ties at 25-foot intervals to assist with depth estimation during future anchoring.2:44 During the installation, the crew mistakenly attached the chain to the anchor in reverse, placing the bitter end at the bow and the beginning at the anchor, which rendered their depth markers inaccurate.14:30 To correct this, they deployed the entire length of the new chain into the water to act as a temporary mooring, allowing them to disconnect the anchor and swap the chain ends.15:21 The process highlights the importance of verifying the orientation of chain markers before installation.
