What\'s the best way to anchor my Bavaria in areas prone to Mobo wash?

...in order to comply fully with col-regs.

Detatch the keel and use it as a mud weight.

OK - but would an anchor ball or NUC be more appropriate?

Ah! I dont think the keel has the right concave shape to it!

Shouldn't be a long term problem due to fuel costs. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If the keel was used as an anchor, I don't think hoisting the correct day shapes will be top of the skippers to do list...... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Another thing nobody's mentioned for a while, is that wherever one is anchored, it is essential to lower one's blue ensign at sunset. The reason red ensign owners never do is because it is incorrect etiquette to lower the ensign before the senior vessel at the anchorage has done so, so unless one sets an example, standards will continue to slip. White ensign owners, of course never lower their ensign at sunset. They have a man to do that for them.

Ah ... didn't YM do a report on anchors last month.

I think the Bav keel performed very well. At least until the wind blew above a force 3!

Should be less of a problem with the change in duty on red diesel

I fly a Non-Defaced Blue when on jollies, (RNSA member), as apposed to Red when working. I was 'picked up' on my sloppy flag etiquette in Cammeret by a 'Senior' White ensign flyer. I was tipsy in the rum bar ashore, and arrived back aboard, well into the night, with an inane grin spread across my slow eyed blinking face!! Laundry still at the staff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a question for you, IF

......we are to go across to the EU ensign, or have ours 'defaced' by the yellow stars, how can a Blue Ensign which is already 'Defaced' by Army, or RAF or the like insignia be 'defaced' twice?

This is a genuine question.

for some - not the South Coast or Solent though. The mobo's could dash around 'locally' rather than offshore trips!

How about not anchoring in areas prone to mobo wash in the 1st place

Shouldn't you anchor to a finger at a marina, well away from mobo wash?

The safest and most comfortable way is to use a crane to lift out. But just in case of hurricane or tsunami, have the keel removed (if the boat still has one - some Bavarias do), load the boat on a low loader and transport to the nearest mountain range with a suitable underground cave storage network. Before you do so, make sure there is no tectonic plate fault in the vicinity.

Using this technique you will feel no effects from wash whatsoever, and the anchor is unlikely to drag provided you use enough scope.

Aah, the obvious solution is for the United States of Europe (Cap. Bruxelles) ensign to be pale blue all over with a ring of stars in the top left corner, leaving the rest of the field free for local graffiti. Why bother with all that old-fashioned national flag stuff?
Would that be acceptable?

In an effort to overcome this slur on their keels Bavaria have taken to fitting two keels, cunningly connected.
As can be seen, the prefered way to avoid wash is still to take the boat out of the water. Now where's that anchor.

I think that you'll find that that is a standard Bavaria keel - it's just that the middle has dropped out of it.

They would fit similar to Co32's, but the 1" nuts on the keel bolts use up too much of the remaining cabin headroom...... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
