Med Mooring with anchor - SVN global sailing Network

In some situations you have to moor to a dock without a lazy line, so you have to use the anchor.This type of mooring is called "Med mooring with anchor"
In this maneuver, we will simulate that there are only two people on the boat.
We shoot this video in Marina Cala dei Sardi, a wonderful marina in Nord est Sardinia, in Cugnana gulf.

Excellent description. Thank you.

Nice video and nicely done. A couple of additions - when dropping the anchor if you stop before you start to drop the anchor then you risk being blow out of position before you have the anchor down. Alternatively, pre drop some chain ie if you where in 10m of water then pre drop 8m. Just means you only have 2m to drop before it’s on the bottom and you can be reversing towards your berth like this so that you maintain steerage. The other suggestion, would be one you have your stern line on then you can ease these a motor away from the dock, you can then lift some chain with less load on the windlass and then motor back against the anchor getting it taught whilst tightening your stern lines. When solo I follow exactly the same process you presented with the above additions. The only difference is that when I reach the dock I leave the engine in reverse to hold the boat in place against the anchor, then I can safely step ashore with the line. When doing this I will stop a boat length out and pull back against the anchor to ensure I have good holding.

You are right in both things, thank you

Often I go to the dock with the anchor. In Greece, there are many places where you have to moor in this way.

Another excellent video. Grazie mille! I have two clarifying questions if you don't mind. 1. I watched the same video in Italian with Maurizio's commentary too. In that version, you guys tied the port side first. Does that mean that the wind shifted between the Italian video and this one? I'm guessing they were recorded on the same day. 2. When Simona revs the throttle forward to straighten the boat, does it matter which way the rudder should point? Also, how much slack should the line have for this?

@solovelanet 3 ай бұрын

1) Yes, we recorded on the same day, but you have to take into account that in the afternoon the wind comes from the opposite direction to the morning. 2) The wheel must face the quay. The line must not be too short, as this would prevent the boat from moving, but it must not allow the boat moving forward to bump into the boat moored in front of us.

I often use this way of mooring, but I didn't know the trick of the windward line. Well done. On your youtube channel, I find many videos in Italian and a few in English. Can you tell me which video you realize in English? Thank you

We do an Italian and English version for all the video lessons, the sea trials and the sailing directions video. For these, we do a Spanish and Portuguese version too.

How much tension do you give to the anchorchain? That it comes straight? So you can not go bachward as with muringline?

@solovelanet 5 күн бұрын

The tension of the anchor chain depends on the mooring lines. The lines do not need to be very taut, the boat should be able to move back and forth a little.

@madario Ай бұрын

In crosswinds, do you drop the anchor stern to wind or bow to wind?

@solovelanet 29 күн бұрын

With the bow in the wind, manoeuvres, at least we, always do them.

@erents1 Жыл бұрын

When did you make the chain tight on the anchor and how was that done? Guessing you used the windless once the stern was tied off…

@solovelanet Жыл бұрын

Yes we use the windless.

@@solovelanet Could you make this more clear, please? In the video you see how you tighten windward stern line but do you tighten also the anchor chain afterwards?

@AnalysisCritical 11 ай бұрын

do you use the snubber after anchoring stern to?

@solovelanet 11 ай бұрын

Depend. If in the port there are waves, then you will use it. Otherwise, it is not necessary. In most of the ports, it is not necessary. In someone, it is, and it is very important to have it.

Why do you not do a video about a Med mooring in a marina where you do not drop the anchor? It will be exciting.

the med- mooring by using the anchor looks a little more difficult than the version with lazy-/ mooringline at the bow. In my experience the version with mooringline is more and more used in the med. And if the harbour or marina has mooringlines installed you should use them. The reason for this are in my opinion the many problems with tangled anchors and anchor-chains. But the medmooring with anchor has also its advantages: 1.)the anchor at the bow when dropped and the chain gives the bow some guidance when docking backwards, especially in crosswinds. 2.)you don't have the risk of having the lazy-line of the bow- mooringline in your rotating propeller Finally I would recommend as much anchor- chain as possible, especially in windy or even stormy conditions. .

How do you know when the anchor has touched the sea bottom?

@solovelanet 2 жыл бұрын

Before starting to drop the anchor, check the depth. If the depth is 5 meters let go 8-9 meters chain then you can start to move back

@@solovelanet One idea if you are single-handed is to have the anchor windlass on a remote control, and of course if you have a bow thruster that would be put onto the same controller.
