- Q150 - Deck General
38. You are arriving in port and are assigned to anchor in anchorage circle B-4. It has a diameter of 500 yards and your vessel's LOA is 484 feet. If you anchor in 8 fathoms at the center of the circle, what is the maximum number of shots of chain you can use and still remain in the circle?
To remain within the anchorage circle, the total distance from the anchor to the stern must be less than or equal to the circle's radius. Using three shots of chain allows this, while four or more shots would cause the stern to swing outside the circle.
