The Complete Anchoring Handbook: Stay Put on Any Bottom in Any Weather
Year: 2008 Language: english Author: Poiraud A., Ginsberg-Klemmt A., Ginsberg-Klemmt E. Genre: Manual Publisher: McGraw-Hill ISBN: 0-07-151021-4 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 212 Description: The technique of sailing has changed enormously in recent years, but one area that has remained virtually unchanged from the early days when humans first ventured afloat in a hol-lowed-out tree trunk is that of anchoring. GPS, radar, electronic charts, and odier such aids have vastly increased the safety of sailing, but they are all primarily concerned with movement. When I was asked to write a foreword to this book, I looked back at the various accidents among cruising boats that have come to my attention during my recent circumnavigation and was amazed to find that the majority were the direct consequence of poor anchoring. In the not too distant past, the major cause of groundings in areas such as the South Pacific was poor navigation; nowadays, boats are often lost or damaged because they are anchored in the wrong way and in the wrong place. And I say that not just from my observations of others but also from hard-gained personal experience! I will never forget some sticky moments, especially in my early sailing years, when we were one step from serious trouble by not having paid due attention to anchoring properly.
