Anchoring overnight requires arriving before sunset to identify landmarks, hazards, and the positions of other vessels while visibility remains high.1:11 Sailors should select a sandy bottom, avoiding Posidonia, and deploy at least a 4:1 scope ratio. After setting the anchor, verify its hold by reversing the engine at 1,500 to 2,000 RPM.4:54 To ensure security, use a snubber line—a rope attached to the chain with a rolling hitch and secured to a cleat—to relieve tension on the windlass and dampen jerking motions.7:02 Digital anchor alarms, such as Anchor Light or Anchor Pro, provide real-time GPS monitoring to alert the crew if the boat drifts outside a pre-set radius.5:25

At night, maintain a 360-degree anchor light at the masthead and keep a large fender ready for deployment to prevent collision damage from dragging neighbors.10:29 When choosing a spot, respect a 100-meter distance from rocky coasts and 300 meters from beaches.7:30 Keep the tender close to the boat or onboard to avoid entanglement and theft.13:34
