Line ashore anchoring - how its done?

[Refueler]

I am sure that others here who have or do sail the Baltic .... one of the best areas due to no tide ... beautiful scenery and idyllic small bays ....

The use of 'rock hooks' ... lines to trees ..... kedgeing ..... is old hat to them ... just as is with those who Medi Moor in Greece / Croatia / Yugo and many other locations.
Each location of course tends to develop its own variation and that's how it should be. The methods evolve usually due to local circumstances ... ie what to make fast to how to make fast .. depth of water and the shelving.

OP is asking a question of how to : The answers generally have followed the stern to Medi style - but that is not only style to consider. For the less experienced - if there is no conflict with others - I suggest the Bow to - the main reason is to protect from mishap the stern gear such as rudder / prop etc. It also allows the boat to be 'eased' to touch either bottom if shallow or the shore if deeper.

That's my opinion anyway ...

thanks that was interesting.

A variation we sometimes use, especially in the more difficult situations, crosswinds, difficult access to the shore etc, is to send the dinghy in first and sort out the shoreline at leisure then reverse the yacht up to the waiting dinghy.

yes I think this is a good way - helps also if there is an anchor control in the cockpit
