Anchoring

To Anchor

Being able to anchor correctly in a safe manner provides you with more freedom and flexibility in your boat life. In natural harbors and guest harbors it is usually necessary to use an anchor when mooring. When anchoring it is important to keep in mind that it should never be used as a permanent mooring/docking solution. When anchoring the boat can never be left unattended.

It is important that you have a good idea of what the sea or lake bottom surrounding the boat looks like when anchoring. Detta för att försäkra dig om att botten kan ge ett bra ankarfäste. This is order to ensure that the bottom provides good holding ground. When anchoring the anchoring line or chain should also have significant length, 5 times the water depth is a good rule of thumb. Also remember to fasten the anchor line to the boat before submerging the anchor. It is also important to make sure the anchor line does not get caught in any propellers.

Anchoring Line

When anchoring you also need to enlighten other boat owners about your anchoring line so they do not run it over. Our anchoring line SYNSTEN is specifically developed for such a purpose. The line has a bright orange color that is highly visible in water. It is also equipped with a chain for the last three meters at the anchor side so the line sinks and sets in a correct position. The chain is covered with a tubular woven casing made of 100% polyester silk in order to protect it against wear-and-tear as well as protect the boat from the chain chafing it.

The anchor weight you need can be found in the table on this page.
