Riqht WAY to DROP 4 Hook.

One of the most common faults of
amateurs in the realm of seamanship
is to let go the anchor while the vessel
is still going ahead, says Outing. This
is not only sloppy and unseamanlike,
but it is very likely to involve one in
difficulties later on, because when the
vessel settles back over her hook"
she is apt to to catch turn of the an
chor-rope around a fiuke or arm and
then the anchor will drag under at the
least provocation. The proper method
of coming to anchor is to round up to
the wind or tide according to which
is the controlling force), bring the
vessel to stop, and even have slight
sternway on her before singing out
Let go!" Then the anchor will go
down fair and it's chain or rope will
tail out straight as the vessel swings
off before the wind or tide.
