When anchoring, the anchor should be secured to the vessel's bow, as this position allows the boat to face into the wind and waves, providing stability. The bow is designed to handle the forces exerted on the anchor line, reducing the risk of the vessel drifting or swaying. Properly securing the anchor at the bow also ensures that the vessel remains oriented correctly while at anchor.

Once inspected, the user should put on the harness, ensuring it is adjusted properly for a snug fit and that all straps are secured. Finally, connect the lanyard to the designated anchor point, ensuring it is properly attached and secured before proceeding with any work at height.
