This can work either with the stern anchor or with the main anchor with
its rode led aft outside all and carefully coiled so it will run clear
of everything. Like everyone else I don't recommend actually swinging
on you anchor stern first in most locals, but sometimes that's okay
too. I would not try to carry the loaded anchor rode forward after
setting. If you are going to use the main gear run it down the side,
outside all, bringing enough scope to set it back to the cockpit. Then
coil the rope into a container (eg. a milk crate) such that the anchor
and chain is on top and such that it will run freely. You can set this
up at the dock. Anchor by sailing as slowly as you can on a broad
reach with the rode on the windward side. Drop the anchor carefully
but quickly when you see a good spot, release the jib sheet and round
up... Try to do all that very quickly. I've done this maneuver with
just a scrap of jib out and no main and the forces when the anchor sets
can be surprising large. I had pretty beefy fairleads and a massive
anchor cleat on the boat I had back then and didn't ever break anything
but it might be better not to completely cleat the rode on the bow so
it will pay out a bit if it comes under a lot of strain. Used with
great care it is a useful anchoring technique when anchoring in a place
where you need to see where the hook will drop (eg mixed coral and
sand) but don't have a bow person, in any other circumstance walking
forward will be better.
