How do you properly anchor a sailboat offshore?

You need to carefully choose a spot that is protected from wind and waves. Look for a smooth and even bottom, ideally no deeper than 15 feet. To properly anchor, you must first slowly lower the anchor, bow into the wind, engine idling. When the anchor hits the bottom, but before the attached chain begins to coil up, signal the helmsman to put the engine into reverse. Lay out the chain attached to the anchor onto the bottom, and then feed out about 7:1 line, which means a 15 foot depth, plus about a 4 foot height above the water requires about 133 feet of anchor rode (as the line attached to an anchor is known). When the rode is tight, stop the engine. Then make sure you don't drift! if you dont' have a motor.....then you'll need to do the same thing into the wind, and use the backed jib or main to lay out the rode. Much more difficult.


You are anchoring your boat The water is 20 feet deep How much anchor line should you use?

60 feet 60 Feet for short term in calm waters. The rules, 3:1 for Short term calm conditions. 5:1 For overnight and attended in normal conditions. 7:1 for overnight, unattended and potential storm conditions example, in 20 feet using 3:1 you need 60 feet... More than 7:1 offers little increase in angle.


What is the volume of water in a 6 inch water line that is 1700 ft. long?

The capacity of that section of line is (pi R2 L) = 333.79 cubic feet = 2,496.95 gallons. (rounded) We have no way of knowing how much water is actually in it. It may even be empty.


Would dropping an anchor into the water from a boat displace more water than before?

Yes, when an anchor is dropped into the water from a boat, it displaces more water because the anchor adds weight to the boat causing it to sink slightly lower in the water. This displacement increases the total volume of water that the boat is displacing.
