These elastic anchor lines make it easy for you to lie in front of the bow anchor and stern line: " You can comfortably pull the boat to the shore on the stern line and the Anchor Buddy pulls it away from the shore again after the stern line has been fished " Or reserve your mooring: tie a buoy to the Anchor Buddy and let the shore line after the buoy is pulled to your mooring " Use the Anchor Buddy to avoid jerking of your anchor.
