This sounds like a good idea. I think I'll try it next time I'm anchored in windy conditions. It would keep the boat on one "tack", as it were, and you could also adjust the angle to give you the most comfortable ride by quartering the waves.

I saw a M 17 at anchor using the following system; the vessel was not
swinging in the wind. You might give it a try. The anchor rode was led off the bow and a snatch block was attached to it leading to the cockpit making bridle. The angle to the wind could there fore be adjusted.

Yes! Probably just a line looped around the rode & lead aft would do. Gary Sent from my iPhone On Apr 29, 2008, at 12:45 PM, Larry E Yake <leyake@juno.com> wrote:
