Question 3938 Deck General

The correct answer is D) so that their lines form an angle. When anchoring in a river with a consistent current, the best way to set two anchors is to have them positioned so their anchor lines form an angle. This allows the anchors to resist the force of the current more effectively by spreading out the pull and distributing the load. Placing the anchors in a V-shape, with their lines forming an angle, creates better holding power and stability compared to having the anchors directly in line with the bow (A), on top of one another (B), or side by side (C). The other options are less effective because they do not optimize the resistance to the current. Aligning the anchors directly with the bow (A) or stacking them on top of each other (B) concentrates the force in one direction. Placing them side by side (C) does not take advantage of the angled tension that distributes the load better.
