- Have your boat pointed into the wind and without speed.
- Pay out the chain while moving back slowly.
- Secure the cablet on the mooring cleat.
HEAVING UP THE ANCHOR
- Lock the cable lifter snubber.
- Ensure the chain is properly set on the cable lifter.
- Slowly go near the anchor, using your engine (Don't use your windlass to winch the boat).
- Heave the anchor completely.
- Visually check the last meters till the anchor gets into contact with the davit.
- If you just change berth, check the position of the anchor on the stem fitting
- With an electric windlass, switch the power off as soon as the chain is fast.
