Anchoring & the windlass Setting your anchor: Preparation: • Establish a non verbal communication system from bow to stern, as with the noise of the engine and wind, verbal communication proves difficult. • Tie the dinghy painter close to the boat at the bow or amidships to avoid wrapping it around the prop.

If you still have no power, you can operate the windlass manually. To drop the anchor, insert the windlass handle into the inner hole on the top of the windlass.
