[quote=RicardOben]We beach a lot and have anchored now and then. We always take the block off and downhaul off. I have seen boats sail away with anything sheeted. Me personally, I would never ever leave anything sheeted anytime the boat was unmanned. JMHO, YMMV
As for the swinging you need a second bridle that runs from the bows. If you plan to do this often, make one that will clip to the dolphin striker when not in use. Clip it to the bouy and then back to the dolphin striker. On the big (40ft) cats all of them have anchor bridles. Run the windlass out and hook up the bridle, never just the anchor line.
