Anchor Sails

ABOUT ANCHOR SAILS

• See Size Chart for Sizes and Material Weighs
  
• Easy to use
  
• Rig the anchor riding sail by hanking it to the back stay.
  
• Connect the head to a halyard and the tack to a strong point below via a tack pennant line.
  
• Hoist the anchor sail and sheet it off to one rail at the genoa track or other convenient forward location. This has the effect of holding the boat slightly on one tack. If you have a split backstay you should hank it to the windward leg and sheet it to the leeward rail.
  

• We can supply your new Anchor Sails in plain White Premium US Dacron  or for a small additional cost, in full Dayglo Orange, to make sure your boat is visible on anchor.

A boat at anchor will often sail back and forth causing several problems. Each time the boat swings broadside to the waves it produces an uncomfortable rolling motion. From a safety stand point it also causes a side load on the anchor alternating from the left to right threatening to break out the anchor’s set.

Don’t be confused by vendors selling V-shaped versions of the anchor riding sail. Those came into existance due those who do not know how to properly rig a traditional riding sail. Do not sheet it on the centerline as that won’t prevent the boat from sailing back and forth on the anchor rhode.
