How do you set up an anchor buoy?

How do I get my anchor back?

Retrieving an Anchor

  1. Move the boat directly over the anchor while pulling in the line. Pulling the anchor straight up should break it free.
  2. If the anchor is stuck, turn your boat in a large circle while keeping the anchor line pulled tight.
  3. When the anchor breaks loose, stop the boat and retrieve the anchor.

How do you attach an anchor to a boat?

Attach the line to a bow cleat. Never tie the line to the stern: the additional weight could bring on water. Slowly lower the anchor from the bow, rather than the stern, to avoid capsizing or swamping. When the anchor has hit bottom—and sufficient rode is given out—give a solid pull to set the anchor.
