Art of Anchoring
One evening: 3 hours
Anchor as though you plan to stay for weeks even if you’re intending to leave in an hour.
Course Overview
Even heavily populated areas like the NY Metro region have many unspoiled bays and coves just waiting to take you away from the everyday grind. Beyond the sheer enjoyment of swinging at anchor in a secluded cove, the skill of securely connecting your boat to the bottom has some important safety implications. Knowing how to anchor your boat under any conditions in any anchorage can save you from running aground in bad weather or due to engine failure. Dropping the right anchor to make your boat secure is what you need for a good night’s rest away from the crowds.
