Module 3 - Anchorwork
Yachtmaster Offshore Standard
Anchorwork at Yachtmaster level is not just recall. The answer has to show command judgement, evidence quality, margin, and a fallback if the first plan stops being safe.
Scenario: A planned overnight anchorage becomes marginal as the wind backs and the tide turns across a crowded bay.
Examiner expectation: Defend anchor choice, scope, swinging room, holding, alarm limits, and the trigger for re-anchoring or leaving.
Key points
- State the evidence you trust and the evidence you distrust.
- Name the margin that makes the plan defensible.
- Choose the first action that preserves safe options.
- Explain the contingency before the situation becomes forced.
