anchor from the bow, rather than the stern
Sailing yachts have the anchor at the bow of the boat.
It is recommended by the USCG that all vessels should be anchored from the bow,{front} and never the rear. In Texas it is illegal to anchor your boat in lakes or creeks and rivers from the rear.
A bow stopper is a fitting to secure the anchor chain or rode to the vessel's bow when the anchor is raised. A chain stopper is used to hold the anchor chain in place and relieve strain on the windlass when the anchor is deployed or retrieved.
