40How A Ship's Anchor REALLY Works..
Welcome back to Creative Focus. This is how ships anchor works for you all. Anchors dig into the seabed to hold a boat in position. They serve a safety role by keeping boats out of the surf or off the rocks. They also allow boaters to secure the boat temporarily while fishing, having lunch, or spending the night. When an anchor penetrates the surface of the seabed, suction generates resistance, created by the bottom material plus the weight of the material above the anchor. As the boat pulls on the anchor rode, the anchor digs in deeper, creating additional resistance.
Despite claims to the contrary, no single anchor design is best in all conditions. Boaters voyaging to areas where there is a specific type of bottom must carry an anchor(s) suitable for that bottom. For all but very small boats, we recommend that all boats carry at least two anchors for the following reasons: You will have another if one anchor is lost, Different anchor types work best for different conditions, Two anchors allow you to anchor bow and stern in tight anchorages. Inspect your entire anchor system frequently for chafe, loose shackles, and bent flukes. The system is only as reliable as its weakest component. Store at least one anchor so that it can always be used immediately. Even the strongest anchor won't do you any good if you can't deploy it. Quickly deploying even a small anchor can keep you from going further aground.
