Knowledge of the Swinging Radius of a Boat
at Anchor A easy way to
estimate the swing radius of the boat is to add the length of the rode
to the overall length of the boat. The swing radius will always be
less than this. For fun, a more accurate determination can be made
by using the following equation:
Swinging Radius =
LOA + [
(Rode )2 -
(Depth + Freeboard )2 ]1/2

Enter this information to find the swinging radius:
1. Enter the overall
length of the boat (LOA):
2. Enter the length of the Rode ( anchor line ):
3. Enter the depth of the water over the anchor:
4: Enter the distance from
the deck at the bow pulpit to the
water ( freeboard ):
