Stupid idea. The real way to "see" your anchor set is to back down on it. If
it holds then it's set. If it drags then it isn't set. Don't make a mountain
out of a mole hill!

I thought you were against having an engine on a SAILboat?

Here's a way to back down in order to dig in the anchor:

You steer into the wind, same way as if you would heave-to.
When the sailboat stops dead in the water, you drop the anchor then
push the boom against the wind to the opposite side of the Jib.
Now you grab the tiller and steer the boat as it moves backwards.

With a little luck, you can steer in a straight line till the anchor
digs in.....

I have tried it tvice.....

The first time, it was an accident.

The second time i was trying to impress a ladyfriend.....

Didn't get lucky thogh.......;-)
