<DIV align=justify>I believe the sail is referred to as a "riding sail." I have
never used one, so not sure what impact it has on reducing the A30's
tendency to yaw at anchor. Being a single-handed sailor myself, I
frequently use two anchors off the bow, set roughly 90 degrees to one
another. The best way for me to accomplish this is to 1) set the first
anchor in the "normal" way and 2) after I am sure that it is set properly, I
place the second anchor and rode in the stern of the tender and row
off at 90 degrees until the rode is completely paid out and
drop the anchor over the side. Back aboard, I tug on the rode until
it is set. To weigh anchor, slacken one line while hauling in the other;
once on board, haul in the second rode.</DIV>

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>
