Joey knows all about gayness, apparently. He's an expert.

That is Jon quest. He gay's up everything. Without gayness he is
nothing.

Well, wouldn't the wind or tide give you that? Why use the engine if you
don't have to? Of course, Mooron has to, but...

Some anchoring points from "My" perspective...,...

Sometimes, all that's needed to get a recalcitrant anchor to fetch up, is
to add some scope .... haven't got a clue as to why, your experience may
vary.

When anchoring, always try to have at least 1-2k of sternway (backing at
1800 seems excessive, but waddahey, whatever works). When the anchor
fetches the line/chain will go taut and then slowly slack off, but if it
hasn't, it may go taut, slack, taut, etc..

When heaving an anchor, once the anchor is aweigh, if your chain/line is
led over a roller, or through a hawse pipe, the chain/line will wabble
from the roller/HP, down.

EG Some tidbits of potentially useless information.

The whole point of the matter... you brain dead little Homo... is that
different situations require different approaches. A basic logic you
continuously fail to grasp... which of course leaves you with a litany of
dragging and failed sets.

Until you've operated a 30 ft full keel without any auxcillry for a year...
you might have sufficient capacity to broach the topic of ground tackle,
kedging and setting anchor undersail with me.

If I elect to utilize my auxiliary to secure my set.... it's because I
can.... to ignore that option out of some deluded sense of sailing
purity... and then piously motor to your dock under the misconception you
are a competent, skilled and capable sailor.... illustrates how idiotic your
position is on the subject.

Not necessarily,

Why use the engine if you
don't have to?

To make certain of a good set.


Of course, Mooron has to

because he's a real sailor.

Bouy bitch!

Okay.. many times I only take it to 1500rpm. :-)

I'm turning a 13" screw with a 19# to a 30hp diesel on a 30ft Crab Crusher.
I'll hold for 30 seconds to range then ease down to neutral so the boat
doesn't surge ahead on the rode and Bob's your Uncle.

G This is why I say "whatever works". Each boat, set of conditions,
equipment, operator, will be apt to require a different approach .....
makes it hard to give "hard and fast" advice, or state that a particular
approach is not good.

And if there's no wind or current? Use the "wind or tide", or use the engine
..... point is, use what works.
