How do you properly anchor a sailboat offshore?
You need to carefully choose a spot that is protected from wind and waves. Look for a smooth and even bottom, ideally no deeper than 15 feet. To properly anchor, you must first slowly lower the anchor, bow into the wind, engine idling. When the anchor hits the bottom, but before the attached chain begins to coil up, signal the helmsman to put the engine into reverse. Lay out the chain attached to the anchor onto the bottom, and then feed out about 7:1 line, which means a 15 foot depth, plus about a 4 foot height above the water requires about 133 feet of anchor rode (as the line attached to an anchor is known). When the rode is tight, stop the engine. Then make sure you don't drift! if you dont' have a motor.....then you'll need to do the same thing into the wind, and use the backed jib or main to lay out the rode. Much more difficult.

What is the proper technique for anchoring a boat?
Type your answer here... Lower your anchor, put the boat in reverse and backup until the flukes dig in, tie it off and your done.Didn't work? That's probably because:1. Proper sized anchor for the boat.2. 5 feet of chain attached between the anchor and the rode (rope)3. 5 - 10 times the depth is the amount of rode must be played outThe chain and length of the rode are all about creating the proper angle of the rode in relation to the anchor and boat. If the anchor rode angle is too steep, it will pull the flukes out of the bottom, resulting in boat drifting.Approach the anchor position, head to wind or current.The vessel should be moving slowly astern before letting go.Lay the cable on the bottom, usually three times the depth, or more in rough weather.Pick a reference point on shore to gauge if you are dragging
