ABC of the Manoeuvre – The Anchors

An anchor is an essential tool, often underestimated. However, dropping an anchor remains the last thing to do when no other options are available, and its simplicity can help us save a manoeuvre. In this course, we will see how to use the anchor practically to moor, unmoor, slow down or stop the ship by going through some manoeuvres. We will also see how and when to intervene to manage an emergency.
