1. Hello guys…. sorry i left you for a couple of weeks… I recently changed my contract at work into a part time, so I had to do some financial reorganizing, but I re-became one of your patrons again… your work is simply too good not to be thankful for …. let us know the moment you want us to support you directly and other than via patreon..ok? Hugs to both!!!

2. Great video as always. When somebody starts to set up anchor too close I have been known to step out in the cockpit naked to give them a overly friendly wave. Nobody wants to anchor next to the big heavily tattooed crazy naked man. Thankfully it hasn't lead to any arrests yet. 🙂

3. Ahoy, spot on, the anchor is the most important part of a cruising yacht, and how you use it. Wonderful presentation! Thanks from Surfmachine.

4. Hahaha…your opening was HILARIOUS! and correct. For whatever reason, armchair cruisers LOVE to argue about anchoring!

   But here's the thing:

   Most of these blowhards never anchor out. I do, and have for years. The type of anchor and ground tackle you use is important, but not nearly as important as the good seamanship neccessary to properly maintain, deploy, set, and retrieve said ground tackle.

   …and if you are anchored anywhere the least bit sketchy in terms of wind and waves, you damn well better be prepared to weigh that anchor and get the hell out of there before you drag – regardless of what brand of anchor is set. Around here, everything is an open ocean roadstead and a potential lee shore with big waves. I have a rule – once the anchorage starts white-capping, waves are bigger than a foot, and the wind is onshore, I put out to sea.

   Everyone should, because once it's blowing 30 or 40 knots and the waves are 10 feet, you are not gonna be able to retrieve that anchor – the best you can do is to buoy and slip it, and pray your able to sail out of trouble, because your motor isn't gonna save you.

   Best primary anchor depends on where you sail, and no single design is good for everywhere, but a Delta or scoop type are generally best at both reliable setting and holding power. Danforths are great storm anchors, as long as you get them properly set, but will not reliably re-set when the wind shifts.

   Ideally the fist 150 feet of your rode should be chain, and the rest nylon….and size your primary anchor one or two sizes larger than the manufacturer reccomends.

   No one has ever dragged because their anchor was too big, or because they put out too much chain, lol….

5. Great video w/Outstanding advice!

6. Hello,
   I wander, if using a v-shape bridle instead of a single-line snubber would reduce the tendency to swing when anchoring in windy conditions?

7. Great input.. Cheers! But more importantly what do you recommend to be the best vape mod and tank?? lol But seriously?

8. You do give me a chuckle I love your no nonsense, down to earth humour. i consider getting a face full of your back end a justifiable punishment for nosey neighbours!

9. Too much talking and too little practical demonstration – the common weakness of majority of such videos. On my mind, the sailing is most a practice not a theory. Perhaps I am wrong, but this video could be squeezed to 5-7 minute long unit with 100% of demonstration and corresponding commentaries.

10. You never mentioned how to retrieve your anchor. Great videos by the way. Thanks.

11. I liked this very informative video and your clear explanations, I have subscibed.

12. Lol at "cqr" meaning secure. Absolute rubbish anchors.

13. Hi just found this video. Anchorages where I sail are very crowded and would appreciate your comments on what is acceptable under these conditions. Also if you go in to an anchorage and the boats at anchor are pointing in all different directions how do you ascertain where their anchors are so not to cross them when you drop your hook?

14. Cool stuff !!!

15. Thanks a lot from Roald (68) from Norway who just bought an old Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 (1980) with a 15 KG Bruce anchor

16. Did not say how to take anchor up.

17. ohhhhh i just found this blog .. i think i seen yall before on soSAILize . Keep up the good work 🙂

18. It’s frightening just how much more in-depth a 16 min video is on the subject of anchoring than an entire day skippers course!!!

    That’s for this, we’re planning our first ever anchorage for tomorrow 👌⛵️

19. What a gorgeous opening shot! that water!!!! great piece on anchoring -thanks!

20. Excellent advice.

21. Many thx very interesting.

    I did nit quite get which anchor you recommending?

22. you are funny! Jamie

23. Fantastic video, thanks so much for your advice!

24. If you can't attach a hook to chain and maintain that connection for years through maintenance & replacement of worn oxidized parts you should not be in charge of that vessel.

25. Think you mentioned you used a Rocna Delta anchor ? could you explain the weight of your anchor used on the 42 foot sail boat ? love all of your video's

26. Thank you very much for this clear video, Jamie! We just did our first real anchorage and it's good to get some info from people like you, who have a lot of experience and knowledge.
    Happy greetingz, Wim

27. Hi friends, thank's for everything…we have a C&C 41' and are about to buy a Rocna 33 lbs. 15 kg. but we are wondering if it's enough, or would be better a 20 Kg.? Thanks 🙂

28. What anchor did you mention?

29. Hello.I use to put the snubber first and afterwards going astern.In this way I guess that my windless is more protected.I would like to listen your opinion on this.
    Thanks
    Elias Arkoulis

30. Thank you is regards to anchoring to close to other boats. What is the best way to Guage your distance? Happy Easter

31. Excellent good video about anchoring!

32. Grat instructions!
