What You Need & Need to Know To Anchor a Boat ; James of SV Triteia Gives You the Basics
October 09, 2020 by Sailing Triteia | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:26 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Hello Friends,
Now that we have finished up the first half of Season 7 where we anchored all around Catalina Island for 10 days I thought it would be good to make a few videos demystifying anchoring for anyone who has never anchored and wants to expand their cruising grounds.
As I mention in the video this is at the “Quick and Dirty” version almost like the “Cliffs Notes” of what you NEED and NEED to know. In this video I explain what Ground Tackle is and how important it is to understand Scope and what to do if you find yourself dragging anchor.
I will be doing a longer versions that might be a few episodes getting deeper into Anchors, Rode, Anchorages, Techniques and more.
Here are the links for things discussed in the video:

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
