Does anybody have a good system of hand signals for anchoring, i.e.


I use a very simple set.

The person on the bow points in the direction that the anchor line is
heading, allowing the helmsman to steer in that direction. The angle that
the bow person is pointing can indicate the angle of the rode, providing
some indication of the distance to the anchor. If the angle points back it
indicates that the bow has overrun the anchor spot and that some reverse
might be in order.

A hand up in the classic "STOP" position means just that.
