Beach Anchoring Tips
Upcoming TBYC Cruising Squadron events could involve picnicking or partying at one of the local islands or beaches. The August/September 2014 Boat US Magazine provides guidance that can come in handy when you don’t want to run your boat up onto the sand, but keep it anchored off the beach and accessible. You may already have your own technique but here are some useful steps to beach anchoring success.
Step 1: Watching your depth sounder, approach the beach bow first. Remove your anchor from the bow locker and take it to the stern, making sure you pass the rode outside the stanchions and under the bow rail before heading to the back of the boat. Keep the other end of the rode attached to the boat.
Step 2: You’ll want to set your anchor with enough scope to hold but not so much that the boat swings into very shallow water. It may take a few tries to find a sweet spot at any particular beach.
Step 3: When off the beach and with the engine in neutral, have a crew member lower the anchor over the side at the stern. When it has touched bottom, motor very slowly toward the beach as your crew member pays out the anchor rode, carefully keeping it away from the prop.
