O que este vídeo aborda

Solo sailors can stabilize a boat in a swell or improve ventilation by setting a stern anchor using a dinghy.1:22 To prepare, flake the anchor rode in a figure-eight pattern to prevent tangles and attach a trip buoy to the anchor crown using a follow-through figure-eight knot.3:36 A trip buoy allows for easy retrieval without a windlass and prevents the anchor from wedging in the bottom.3:57 When deploying, use a lightweight aluminum anchor like a Fortress to simplify handling in a small tender.2:19 If using a dinghy with an outboard, drive the tender in reverse to maintain steerage and prevent the rode from fouling the propeller.13:15 Secure the rode to the bow of the dinghy to keep the load off the anchor during transit.13:50 Aim for a scope of at least 3:1, though 4:1 or 5:1 is preferred in higher winds.7:59 Free-diving to manually set the anchor in sand ensures it is properly buried.2:57 Proper preparation and clear deck space prevent snags during the deployment process.14:09
