What should you calculate before setting anchor?

  1. The weight of the anchor

  2. The amount of cable (rode) needed

  3. The number of people on board

  4. The time of day

The correct answer is: The amount of cable (rode) needed

Before setting an anchor, you should always calculate the amount of cable (rode) needed. This is important because the amount of rode needed depends on the water depth, current, wind conditions, and seabed type. It is important to have the correct amount of rode in order to have enough scope and ensure the anchor holds securely. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly impact the amount of cable needed for anchoring and are not relevant to the anchoring process.
