I'm fairly new to anchoring, don't do it much, so I did my search on here and learned quite a bit.
I have a 16 ft aluminum v-hull boat. I have a 22 lb anchor at the bow. A 15 lb (I think) in the back on a winch setup.
I want to know is that, by properly anchoring from the bow with one or two anchors (depending on water/weather conditions) should that prevent the back end of the boat to sway side to side (bow pointed into the wind/waves)...or...do I have to drop an anchor from the back to keep the back end in place?
Also, from what I've read...anchoring from the stern is a "no/no." In what conditions is it okay to do so?
Thanks!
