How to stop your boat - Stress Free Guide to Anchoring!

Learn how to stop your boat safely and anchor with total confidence in this Stress Free Sailing guide. Duncan Wells explains when and how to anchor, how to choose and handle your ground tackle, and exactly how much cable to let out. You’ll also learn how to calibrate your anchor rode, use a snubber, and make sure your anchor is properly holding. We will discuss Shelter, where you are allowed ( and not allowed ) to drop your anchor, holding depth of water and proximity to other boats and obstacles. We also cover anchor watch, the correct signals to show when anchored, and when to use a tripping line. Whether you’re dropping the hook for lunch or settling in for the night, this video gives you clear, practical steps to make anchoring smooth, safe, and stress-free. #StressFreeSailing #Anchoring #HowToAnchor #SailingTips #BoatHandling #LearnToSail #YachtTraining #SailingSkills #CruisingLife #AnchoringGuide #SailingEducation #DuncanWells #SailingTutorial #RYA #SailSafe #LiveaboardLife #SailingUK #BoatLife #SailingLessons #SkipperSkills
