101. Which is TRUE when you pay out more anchor cable?
Increasing anchor cable payout lowers the pull angle on the anchor, maximizing holding power. This is because a more horizontal pull keeps the anchor flukes embedded in the seabed, increasing resistance to dragging. Greater cable length also increases the vessel's swing radius, and does not decrease holding power or increase the likelihood of dragging, assuming a properly set anchor.
