[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 80564, member: 148"] GrumMan While the boat will indeed pivot at the eye, the swing circle (area the boat will go) will be much less than with a single anchor tied to the bow. Look at the drawing (rough and crude but done quickly) and you can see how a boat on a single anchor will swing much more than if on two anhors. The first anchor line will limit how far the boat can swing. If you dropped another off the stern you could really hold it in place.
