Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Anchoring in Serifos, Greece, presents significant challenges due to katabatic winds, rocky seabed conditions, and limited space for Mediterranean mooring. The island’s mountainous terrain funnels winds, creating gusts that can reach 55–60 knots in areas like Koutalas, even when ambient winds are significantly lower.1:49 When anchoring in Koutalas, vessels risk dragging onto the shore if the wind shifts, necessitating careful positioning and long scope.2:24 The harbor at Serifos is particularly difficult for monohulls, as the seabed often prevents anchors from setting properly.8:12 During trials with a Bavaria 51, the crew experienced multiple failed attempts to set a Delta anchor, even with 80 meters of chain deployed.5:01 Successful anchoring in these conditions requires heavy ground tackle, such as a 32-kg anchor, and at least 12mm chain.6:25 Due to the poor holding and technical complexity of the harbor, the crew recommends rafting up with other boats or choosing alternative anchorages like Psili Ammos, Agios Sostis, or Megali Livadi.8:37
