The absolute BEST way to anchor

- There are an infinite number of ways to anchor and different factors in anchoring. With a very strong storm system approaching Florida and risk of tornados we take a good look at anchoring. Here are some basics and what I think is the best way to anchor a boat in most situations especially as a live liveaboard. tulasendlesssummer.com

Love the effort put in with the wooden boat and fishing sinkers! Love it! Well done!
Great anchor video! I've used that technique several times and it's never let me down. I've also survived a 60 mph hurricaine with my double Rocna set up. I have two Rocna anchors I believe the big one is 60 lbs and the smaller one is 35 lbs. Rocna has pre-drilled a hole in the back of their anchor so you can attach another chain and swivel leading to another anchor. So I have 40' of chain on the large anchor leading to the smaller anchor which has an all chain rhode leading to the boat. Of course I use plenty of scope some times more than 10:1 ratio. This set up has never failed me, the 1st anchor holds you and the 2nd anchor keeps the chain laying flat on the bottom of the 1st anchor and also acts as kind of a snubber should it break free which I do not think it ever has. The only disadvantage to this is the long scope can produce a large swing radius however since I use this when i know it's going to be really really bad most other boats are out of the water or tied up along a dock hoping and praying that the dock doesn't float away or put a hole in their boat where I rest and drink coffee and for the most part stay pretty relaxed. I make it a habit to use plenty of chaffing gear and check it every 6 to 8 hours if possible. Good Luck and thanks for the great tutorial! Good Job! Bill S.
Excellent tutorial...especially with the small scale boat and fishing line anchors.
Just watched all your videos and subscribed. The Bahama's trip was spectacular!
Great anchoring advice. Exactly what I needed.
Great information! and well explained, thank-you.
Thank you! I’ve saved this vid for when I have my boat.👍⛵️⚓️
You should also give advice on how long your anchor line should be. Also, how important an anchor chain can be. I struggled to anchor in high winds, added chain and so much better. And lastly keeping lines out of props🚤👍
Very helpful!
Great advice, thanks!
Great video. Thank you!
Great tips - Thanks!
good idea thank you for the trick
Great job! Cheers!
Excellent video. Thx.
Fairly new subscriber, enjoy your videos, great job! Cheers!
Great info, thanks
Good presentation.
these vids make my life feel pointless and worthless 😕 but it also drives me to achieve my goals in life to get my self to a point where I can do this my self
Very cool tutorial.
Can you decribe the swivel? What brand do you recommend? What size? Our 40' is about the same weight and size of yours, what swivel size is recommended for a 20000 lb boat. Thanks Learned something valuable here.
Love Jetty in your videos...
Excellent video. I am from LI. I produced and hosted Adventures In Fishing with Capt. Ray Kelly a local tv show on LI for 18 years. We kept our boat in Riverhead. Where were from on LI?
Love your videos! With the Bahamian system what do you do with all the extra anchor line after tying off at the swivel?
Super, merci beaucoup !
Such an inspiration. Wish I was as ripped as you guys.
And if you are afraid of a lightningstrike, you can use jumpcables from mast or from highest point of your boat down to water. Old trick used in larger sailingboats anchored alone in bay.
Personaly i hate Danforth anchors. Because if they lose grip, they just move around on bottom. Second best option is CQR anchor, because it can hold grip better. But maybe the best anchor is Bruce anchor. Number one is still concreteblock over 10,000lbs...
But the most important thing in all anchoring anywhere, is that you allways remember to triple anchorline vs the depth of water! It helps anchor to maintain grip while tide- or winddirection is changing.
Just hang on there you three :)
Hey, been watching your videos for awhile, I enjoy them keep them up! I don't have concrete plans, but I thought about when I retire from the military to maybe by a trawler and live aboard. I watched your "how much does it cost" video, was wondering where do you find free areas to anchor up? Can you anchor up anywhere as long as you're not blocking the intercostal? Are there certain marinas that allow free anchoring outside the marina, if so how do you know if they offer this? Thanks.
Thank you for the education!!!!!
glen fala Are you guys married and if not when?
Are you like my son who got married at 31?
Thank you for the anchoring techniques!
I want your life man awesome vids bro
Omg great visual makes perfect since once u showed it. How would u set that 3rd anchor to make the triangle? Looks like boat free to move as needed but piviots in one place awesome.. Hi JETTY:)
Gracias
Can we see your swivel setup?
Cool! Thanks! Hey, you guys are on Google Earth! See you sitting there!
Same question as Jacko74... cant you tie off to the Mangroves? What about a couple of spring lines to the Mangroves?
I was curious the same about the mangroves also. in the Bahamas they tie to them instead of an anchor. love your advice on everything.
John Lowe, Photographist Since they haven't answered I'll chime in with my thoughts: I think they were expecting the boat to swing in the night: if they tie to the mangroves then they are perpendicular to the wind coming through the narrow channel there (unless they tie at 4 points, which would preclude them from swinging to match the wind as the storm passes), where as anchored Bahamian, they allow the boat to find least resistance. Never done it myself, but from talking to a couple who have, I got the feeling that you would only tie to the mangroves if you could get in somewhere where you were almost surrounded: 270+° kind of thing.
Need a BIG Shovel Anchor.
Some people in the everglades run their boats up into the Mangroves to protect them.
I live near
FYI. Your website link is throwing a 404 Error.
And you just throw your anchor and it gets hold by itself???
man I'd anchor up and stay at a hotel haha
Can you not tie to a tree? You looked close enough to them
that would invite spider on board
some spiders can also walk across water. I suppose my initial comment is deemed invalid now. did I mention that I hate spiders?
buy a singer model 28 and learn to use it it will save you lots of money and make you money with all the cash jobs you will get doing restitch jobs don't spend too much mine cost $75 but it was made in 1886
did you guys grow up in Jupiter
You left out a few things. Types of anchors,how much chain to use,how much rode ect. There's a lot to know to anchor properly. That little Danforth type anchor with a short piece of chain that you threw isn't going to do much.
fishin n flyin That depends on the bottom: a Danforth in clean sand holds darned good. It's downfall is it's inflexibility, not it's holding power. Did the trick on that night obviously…
