I put a bright yellow zip tie on the chain at the distance where the anchor is just below the water line. This allows me to pull the rode from the cabin, behind the helm. I stop when I see that yellow zip comes over the roller. That allows me to safely raise it without chancing it hitting the boat/bow/gelcoat. I also will put it into gear on idle and the slight forward motion will usually clean off the mud. Doesn't always work. Some of the mud up here is very, very sticky.

Great video Jon, thanks! Just two comments if I may: 1. Stern anchors are illegal in some parts of the med… ask the coast guard before doing that. In the med it is more likely to see boats laying shorelines instead, and those must be floating, with bright colored lines, and marked with flashing red or white lights overnight. 2. In windy areas, the recommended scope should not be just a function of depth. We should also factor-in the windage of the boat and the size of the chain. A flybridge boat for example has substantially more surface area than a sailing boat or a speedboat. This means that the horizontal force exerted on the boat by the wind is far greater. You do not want this force to lift the entire chain off the seabed, as this will unsettle the anchor. This means that the weight of the chain should be greater than the KgF exerted on the boat by the wind, plus a comfortable safety margin. If for example a 5 force wind exerts 100 KgF on the boat, and you have a 12mm chain that weighs about 2.8 Kg per meter, you need about 50 meters of scope regardless of the depth... You can not anchor in shallow bays and stay safe overnight in windy conditions, unless certain conditions are met, the captain masters system (wind, boat, anchor rode, shorelines) dynamics, there is enough space in the bay, and there is somebody on watch during the night… Only reason for this humble comment, is that more and more people can afford bigger boats these days, and the rules they have learned at school on scope to depth ratio, have become obsolete in the pursuit of higher profile, more comfortable pleasure craft. It is not by coincidence that I constantly see this kinds of boats dragging anchors in southwest France, Adriatic Italy, Croatia, the Aegean Sea and other windy areas.

Very interesting. I grew up sailing on the West Coast of Scotland before the days of Marinas. I now watch people diving on the anchor to check it is set in warm climates on KZitem. Try that in the Sound of Mull in March! One thing we always had to hand was an anchor Chum. They seem to have gone out of fashion and I wonder why?

Thankyou for sharing your information, good tips. Ive got an idea for an anchor basically shaped like a missile and idea is you drop it and it digs in, have chain to slide up and down shaft freely. Thanks.

I learned to first drive over the spot where you want to drop the anchor to read the actual depth off the depth gauge, to help calculate how much chain to let out. Would've wished for a few more tips and etiquette on anchoring in crowded bays - because, let's face it, that is what most recreational boaters will do, particularly around the Mediterranean. In deep bays, like on Majorca, there's little wind and current, so boats move 360 degrees around their anchoring point throughout a day, often coming dangerously close to other boats doing the same. Some words on that and a rule of thumb on the diameter of the circle your boat will do would have been helpful.

Hi, I'm new to boating so I'm fining your videos extremely useful. I have a question about the anchor marker buoy. How long should the rope be? If it's tied to the anchor, then surely the rope would need to be different lengths depending on the depth of the seabed?

Surprising that you didn't include the technic of motoring your boat in a big circle and using a stainless ring or a one way stopper that lets the ball move toward the anchor using the boats power to retrieve most of the rode but then i remembered that method may not be applicable when using all or nearly all chain rode.

Interesting for novices but you have some beginners too .... what on earth is `the black ball` to show you`re at anchor? You use a few other terms that land lubbers wouldn`t know too. Just saying.
