Danforth Anchor

Dropping Anchor

• Make sure the line is tied to the anchor and tie the other

end to the forward cleat or bow eye.

• Head the boat into the wind or current over the spot where

you want to lower the anchor. Spot the boat before lowering

the anchor.

• When the anchor hits bottom, slowly back up the boat,

keeping tension on the line. Let out an anchor line that is

six to seven times the depth of the water. For example, if you

are in 10 feet (3 m) of water, let out 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21

meters) of line.
