RE: Choosing the Right Anchor for Your Trawler

Eric,
Have to agree with you.
When I drop anchor I start a slow astern movement as the anchor sits on the bottom.
Lay out the required chain and then give it a good set, if necessary will walk some chain back on if space is a little restricted. It is good to know the pick is set properly before finnished with engines.
My 2 c worth
