This doesn't answer the OP's question in any way. What is your
point?

For deployment, one good method is to set your first anchor and let out
twice the scope or length you will need. Then drop the second anchor at
that spot. Pull in on the first rode to the desired scope while letting
out on the second. You are now anchored with a Bahamian Moor.

Assuming an anchor from the bow is to be deployed using the windlass,
what is the proper technique for deploying a second anchor and what is
recommended to secure it's rode ?

For example, if the second anchor is taken out in the dinghy and lowered
away, what is then the best technique for securing the second's rode for
storm security ?

Also, if the original is not left on the windlass, what is regarded as
the stoutest method of securing it as well ?

Both rodes might be all chain, or mixed.

Appreciatively,
Courtney
