Nahhh you just move sideways, at anything from 60 to 45 deg...not perfect but its so slow you can master the anchor ok...neglect it...

In fact, as I mentioned, ondce the anchor bites, and is positively fixed, you will feel the bow turn into the wind, a confirmation it is not dragging...that´s when you release the sails and furl/douse..yes?

Giu,

No problem using my sig. My first sailing instructor used that quote in a class. Consider it a small payment for your most excellent teaching videos.

The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
