Happy Hooking - The Art of Anchoring is a very readable book on boat anchoring. It is loaded with valuable information on anchoring tackle, anchoring technique, tying up and rafting, anchoring etiquette, as well as the occasional anecdote - simply stated a must have for any boater or sailor! The second expanded edition of Happy Hooking - the Art of Anchoring features: More gear More photos More illustrations More independent reviews Experience from both sides of the Atlantic Personal anecdotes based on many thousands of miles of sailing and countless times anchoring Unless you are far offshore, at some point or another you are going to need to 'park' your boat. Just like knowing how to stop your car before you start is perhaps the most important part of driving, we feel that anchoring is perhaps the most important skill you can and should acquire in boating. Anchoring a boat can be a lovely dance in a harbor, or a painful and often embarrassing display of Homo sapiens' inability to plan or communicate. We will endeavor to help you find a combination of tackle and technique best suited for your circumstances when anchoring your vessel. By outlining how different anchors work, the pluses and minuses of different adjunctive pieces of equipment, the current thinking about how to deploy this equipment, and how to select an anchorage, we hope you will be armed with enough information to make some informed decisions about what might work best for you. If you could take only one piece of advice from these pages with you on your travels, perhaps you will remember what Tommy Moran, an old salt in the West of Ireland, advised time and again: "Anchor as though you plan to stay for weeks, even if you intend to leave in an hour." Happy Hooking! EDITORIAL REVIEWS: Ocean Cruising Club The definitive textbook on the subject. Cruising Club of America "Happy Hooking" is well organized, well illustrated, and easy to read.

A modern, authoritative anchoring guide for sailors and powerboaters A boat swinging safely at anchor can mark the relaxing conclusion to a great day of boating or the successful completion of an essential emergency measure, while failure to anchor properly can be frustrating, inconvenient, or downright dangerous. The Complete Anchoring Handbook is your path to mastering this indispensable seamanship skill. Based on original engineering analysis--and with contributions from such international anchoring experts as Alain Fraysse and Chuck Hawley--The Complete Anchoring Handbook emphasizes the proven best gear and methods for anchoring safely in any situation with any boat, sail or power. Here’s everything you need to know, from the basics to the most advanced techniques. Poiraud and company describe: The physical forces acting on a boat, its ground tackle, and the sea bottom Why the new generation of roll-stable anchors (including the Spade, Rocna, Manson Supreme, and others) is proving superior to traditional favorites How to select and size anchors and ground-tackle components How to connect those components without introducing weak points in your ground-tackle system

Rigging Modern Anchors, by Drew Frye, is possibly the most comprehensive guide ever written to demystify the subject of anchoring, especially about today's new anchors. The author, over years of systematic testing with a variety of different anchors and rigs, has produced a new benchmark for anchoring knowledge based on empirical data. Most anchoring mythology is based on anecdotal wisdom passed from one sailor to the next. Often what seems to work or doesn't work has no basis beyond the fact that it was handed down as the conventional wisdom. Finally, Frye has produced a book on anchoring that digs deeply into the how and why of anchoring. This book contains in-depth discussions of anchoring basics, loads, scope, cyclical loading and soil consolidation, discussions of bottom characteristics and holding power. There are anchor-specific observations, discussions of tandem anchors and rigging schemes, plus an extensive appendix containing data tables, test data, open source designs for bridle plate and anchor turner, Strength and toughness of different types of chain and rope, data tables on chain and line thickness, choosing connectors, extensive anchor size recommendations based on different manufacturers, and much more.Proper anchoring and anchor choice is critical to the safety of ship and crew. Instead of hoping that your anchor and rigging scheme will hold in a given situation, read Rigging Modern Anchors and be sure of it.

This practical, down-to-earth, step-by-step instruction manual isn't merely about the basic mechanics of how to anchor-but how to anchor safely, while enjoying your boat more comfortably, in a far greater number of exposed anchorages. It contains everything a cruising sailor needs to know-including the proper cruising attitude and philosophy in relation to international anchoring-as-a lifestyle-and much, much more! It takes a completely new, totally unique "sea gypsy" look at the art and science of anchoring in today's shrinking world. And, it does it from the penny-pinching perspective of a confirmed "economically-challenged, ever-restless" World Cruiser. What other book on anchoring contains information on heaving-to, sea anchors, and Jordan Series Drogues? Flopper stoppers? Shore jackals? Dinghies? Anchor weights. Being tide-bound.

This is a book that only Cap'n Fatty would dare pen-written in his own inimitable, laid-back style.

The Complete Book addresses anchoring systems, techniques, and permanent moorings for boats from 12 to 80 feet in length. It covers monohulls, multihulls, light displacement sailboats, cruisers, sportfishers, passagemakers, and workboats. In short, it is for all recreational and working boats in this size range. The book deals not only with anchor behavior, but also with the rode assembly, riding stoppers, and the human factors. What formerly was thought of as strength through size (heavy anchors and large rodes) has been refined to decrease weight, lighten loads on the boat, and reduce difficulty in handling. Utilizing a systems approach with respect to equipment and techniques and analytical methods for loads, Earl R. Hinz has made a number of contributions to the state of the art. Among them are bow anchor roller design, chain locker and navel pipe design, elastic anchoring techniques, tandem anchor systems design, and designs for permanent moorings. Sections on ground tackle selection, tandem anchoring techniques, anchoring in coral, and improving hurricane moorings have been revised. Most of these designs and techniques are clearly illustrated in the schematic drawings by Richard R. Rhodes. The latest information on electric windlass troubleshooting, new anchor designs, anchor test data, use of screw anchors for more secure moorings, design of moorings for coral seabeds, and anchoring jurisdictional conflicts makes this second edition a state-of-the-art source book for the boating world.
