lying an anchor
« on: 01 Apr 2016, 19:16 »
Owner of a BRE , lying an anchor one has to climb on the forward cabin to drop it off the bow. This is not comfortable in a BRE ,if one is solo sailing and the sea is choppy.   Any suggestions please.

FYI, we still use this technique because it works so well. I now keep a warp coming back to each side of the boat so we can deploy the anchor from either side of the cockpit. These warps are also used as bow mooring lines when on a pontoon and would be used if we ever need a tow.
