アンカリング(Smart Anchoring System)

南の島での滞在はアンカリングが基本となる。
欧米先進国のような完備されたマリーナは、ほとんどない。
入り江や湾に投錨し、テンダー(足船)で上陸するのが基本となる。
停泊も航海も同じで、天気はいつも移り変わる。
停泊中に時化に襲われることも珍しいことではない。
キャリバーヨットのアンカリング設備は、そのような事態をも想定して造られている。
２組のアンカー（双錨）が打て、チェーンやロープが外れないような金物の付いた丈夫なアンカーローラー、時化の海でも耐えられるよう、充分に強度のあるバウチョック。
これ等、アンカリング設備に必要なすべての部品は、キャリバーヨットで設計をした特注品が使用されている。
また、アンカーローラーは、少し前方に突出たバウスプリットの上にあり、この部分に無理な力がかかっても耐えられるよう、アンカーを止める部分だけではなく、船首下部に特別補強を入れたステンレス金物とターンバックル付ワイヤーで、ステムに強固に固定されている。
もちろん充分な収納が必要なチェーンロッカーは大きく、ロードのかかるウィンドラス取付け部分は、特別補強をされた構造になっている。
