91. Which is the BEST action to take if your vessel is dragging her anchor in a strong wind?

Increasing the scope of the anchor cable provides a better holding angle and maximizes seabed contact, which is the appropriate initial response to anchor dragging in strong wind. Adequate scope, maintaining a flatter cable lead, facilitates anchor burial and maximizes holding power. Shortening scope or deploying additional anchors can worsen the situation, and other actions are secondary to improving the primary anchor's holding.
