Why Get an Anchor?
, 06 12th, 2008
Although this question may seem basic, there are many variables that come into play when purchasing your first anchor. Environmental conditions (such as weather and lake structure), the size of your craft and the weight of the anchor itself are all significant parts of the puzzle. Perhaps it’s best to look at how an anchor actually works first.
Boat anchors “attach” to the bottom structure of a body of water in order to hold a boat securely. This is done in one of two ways. Firstly, the anchor can penetrate the bottom surface, creating suction through the penetration and the weight of the material above the anchor itself, in turn creating resistance. Secondly, when dealing with hard, rocky bottoms, the anchor actually snags in order to create hold.
Out of the many roles that anchors serve, the most prevalent are securing the boat while fishing, keeping boats away from rocks or dangerous structures, or allowing the occupants to enjoy a relaxing meal on board without drifting away.
