In this video, our friend of Distant Shores explain us:
- How to position your boat in an anchorage.
- Finding a safe place to drop the hook.
- Evaluate how the other boats will swing and make sure you will be safe at anchor.
You can discover more in Distant Shores website.
One thing to be aware of is that multihulls, like the catamarans mentioned, can lie very differently at anchor than deeper draft boats, since they are more affected by wind than current and may lie to anchor in a totally different direction than monohulls in an anchorage that has both current and wind affecting it.
