Reply to: Anchoring off the beach

Message body

[quote=MN3]yes, make a anchor bridal by attaching a "v" to each bridal tang on the bow . If you have a front crossbar, you can attach it somehow to the center... that will work fine. Some people even attach it to their spin pole end.. i personally think that "over works" your rigging in waves... etc

no one has mentioned it that i saw.. but you must leave your boom / blocks attached to your (centered) travler, or it will dance.. dance ,.... dance. Ron was correct too about release your down/ tighten your outhaul

If you have beach wheels.. threre is no reason you should be "wearing" on your hulls. dont slide your hulls around, only your wheels. If you are worried about small micro scratches from where the hulls/transoms rest on the sand.. .use foam pads (camping mat) or make protectors out of bungee/water noodles so they never touch

lastly: i think putting (AND LEAVING) an anchor in the water near any public area is a terrible idea (no reflection on you.. i dont know where you are talking about)... but to have a metal anchor somewhere a person can step on it.. or another boat can sail onto it and suffer.. is bad mojo. Even if you have a float on it... your float will not be directly above the anchor so you have created an underwater hazard...[/quote]
