Anchor Casting Method

1. The bow of the ship broke down

The bow is anchored, and there are two types: single anchor and double anchor. Under normal circumstances, a single anchor can be used to fasten the ship, and only double anchors can be thrown when the wind and waves are particularly strong and the anchorage is narrow. When the bow of the ship is anchored, the hull receives the least external forces such as wind force, current force and wave impact force, so this method is the main method of anchoring and mooring, and it is also the main reason why the main anchor is arranged in the bow of the ship. Generally, there is only one bow anchor on small boats and fishing boats. In addition, any ship is equipped with two main bow anchors at the bow. When the ship reaches a certain length, a spare main anchor, also known as wind-resistant anchor, should also be provided on the ship.

2. Anchor at the stern

Anchored at the stern is mostly used for inland riverboats and landing craft. When the inland river vessel sails downstream and anchors downstream, in order to ensure safety and avoid turning around, the stern anchor is often used. In the operation of landing ships and retreating from the beach, with the cooperation of the main engine, the ship on the beach was pulled down the beach by the pulling force of the windlass.

3. Anchor end and end

If you want to make the anchored ship always use the ship's side, when facing the wind direction, use the method of anchoring head and stern. The method of anchoring head and stern is generally to throw the main anchor from the direction of the wind, from the stern, pass a cable around the outboard of the ship and connect it with the thrown out main anchor chain, and then release some main anchor chains. Another method Yes, after the main anchor at the head is thrown, the tail anchor is thrown from the tail. The tail anchor is usually transported out by a small boat and dropped. The tail anchor is generally smaller than the main anchor, about 1/3 of the main anchor
