class=06492520-27082001>I would like to hear of ways to minimize swinging to one
anchor (non-tidal streams). I often singlehand and have found putting out
a second anchor astern to be too much retrieval work, and usually there is not
enough room among the other boats to put a second anchor out front. I had
some success with different rudder positions. Has anyone used a temporary
stern sail arrangement--I seem to recall a triangle-shaped sail hung off the
boom/backstay and to the stern cleats has worked. Of course I could try to
only anchor where there's no wind, but that usually means close to shore,
and line to a tree or rock. It would make my naps
longer.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
