Use the method shown in the photo and put another anchor out the stern.  And sway like crazy.... that�s the �V� Tom is saying to avoid. You want to be in a T, much less sway.

He's also saying to use a 3rd anchor off the back. Seems more troublesome to me than just setting the T, and I wouldn't want to carry 3 anchors, or pull them all up.

I guess reading isn't your strong suit. Didn't you see where I said to put another anchor out the stern? This is one of the methods the USN uses for holding boats in the roughest waters and it works very well. 3 anchors can be a pain but the boat will be very steady in just about any conditions.

Works great on large boats with a windlass to pull anchors but a lot of trouble for just anchoring a small boat.
It takes some practice to use the t method but is great especially in water over thirty ft. The rougher the water, the more stable it becomes.

Can read fine.... A �V� even with an extra anchor out the stern isn�t going to hold like the T will, you will sway like crazy. Plus you�re pulling 3 anchors, instead of 2.
