DC295 swings while anchored

Postby ssheahan » Thu Jul 12, 2018 3:10 pm

I have a 2018 DC295, I have noticed that the boat will swing back and forth while on anchor, light and moderate wind. The distance traveled can be considerable 20 to 30 feet. This causes a problem when around other boats on anchor. Has anybody experienced the same problem. I'm thinking the only solution is to carry another anchor for the stern and set it when head up into the wind, anybody have a suggestion.

Hey Friend,
Try this: toss a bucket or two off the stern cleats. you can also drop the drive and use the skeg to "move her hip in or out (with motor off). I hope I am making sense? The obvious answer is to use 2 hooks but the buckets cheaper and will allow everyone to swing even. twin screws will swing a boat faster as well.
