Nice video, but please, please use three or four chain links between your anchor's eye and the swivel to prevent side loading the swivel. This is where they're prone to breaking. Anchor /d-shackle / three links of chain / swivel / chain.
During our 5-year world trip, we traveled/slept in various weather and sea beds with ultra anchors without any problems. I have an anchor one size larger than my boat needs and a windlass one size larger than the anchor needs.
Yet another great instructional video. Would have been good to have mentioned use of a snubber. Especially when staying overnight. Great use of graphics too.
Good tutorial. Thanks much mate! Minor Feedback: Audio could be slightly better. There some hum in the indoor portions, and a wind sock would reduce wind noise in the outdoor portions.
I think that you need to take high tide in to account and not low tide. Basically let out enough rode to handle the highest level so you maintain your ratio.
Whilst that might be a lovely notion, all instruments are set to run in the same unit of measurement as the charts. And depth on the charts I use are all in metric. Definitely not sensible to have to convert units of measurement in your head when the pressure is on.
Fantastic series of videos. Very practical and exactly the right level of detail. Perfect for me revising for my occasional charter sailing trips!
Glad you liked them John. Thanks for watching
Totally agree with this

Interesting suggestion Chris. Makes a lot of sense.
:) Most welcome. I speak from experience... LOL@@confidencesailing
Exactly. Evenon a mooring mushroom. You need to get a fairlead.
Excellent video. Great graphics.
Thanks so much. And thanks for watching

Great to hear. Congrats on your trip, and thanks for watching

Thanks as always John.
Great stuff! You clearly put some good work into this vid.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Again, excellent content and explanation. Just a matter of time until you will get the viewership it deserves
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching.
Well done. Many thanks form FLA USA 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Great video. So well explained. Thanks
Thanks Chris. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thx my next to do learn have a fab day
Thanks for watching
Excellent, thank you once again. We haven't got onto anchoring yet and we'd like to start next year so this was just the job! 😀
Glad you liked it. And thanks for watching
I appreciate the video, could there be another one in tempestuous conditions when the reality is really upon us?
enjoyed the video , how can it be done manually without a windless on a big boat
Good tutorial. Thanks much mate!
Minor Feedback: Audio could be slightly better. There some hum in the indoor portions, and a wind sock would reduce wind noise in the outdoor portions.
Are there any etiquette or rules such as the last person to anchor should move and re-anchor if a problem presents itself as the tide or winds change?
Certainly if someone ends up over your chain you would expect them to move to allow you to weigh anchor safely, and most people will happily do so.
I think that you need to take high tide in to account and not low tide. Basically let out enough rode to handle the highest level so you maintain your ratio.
Anchoring a small boat.... demonstration shows a 35' boat.
I still tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.
Well thank you. How 'small' is small?

Great but i live in UK so feet not meters as befitting our great seafaring nation?

I didnt notice you being "pressurised" in the video narration (?)@@confidencesailing
I'm not sure I understand your meaning David.
@@confidencesailing I think it's better to use feet in the narration and more respectful to the subject and also our fore fathers.
@@davidfarmer2049I agree, though I would go further, cubits and hands, not the new fangled imperial.
