[Rhodes22-list] Anchoring - Again

[DCLewis1 at aol.com]

Folks,
 
The subject of anchoring has come up several times so when I read the para  
below in a post by Jerry Montgomery to the Montgomery board it rang a  bell.  
Possibly newbees like myself will be interested.  In the  excerpt below Jerry 
is talking in terms of an M-15 or M-17 and his  entire message relates to the 
utility of a down haul on an M15.  His  comments about furling the headsail don’
t relate to the R22.  I’ve only  excerpted the part of his post that relates 
to anchoring.
 
 
I always carry the anchor in the port cockpit locker, and if I'm  single
handing I can drop the jib, pick my spot to drop the anchor, drop the  hook
from the cockpit (by that time the boat has lost way), walk forward as  the
boat drifts back, and set the anchor and tie it off on the bow cleat.  You
can do the same thing with a furler, but what if it hangs up?

This sounds very similar to the process Bill Effros has described  earlier ( 
please correct me if I'm wrong Bill), carry the anchor in the cockpit  or laz 
and start anchoring from the cockpit.
