SAILING GLOSSARY

Anchorage

An anchorage is a place where a boat is stopped at anchor, as well as the system made up of the anchor, chain, and rope used to keep it in place. More generally, to anchor means to drop the anchor and stop the boat. A good anchorage is a place where you can sleep without waking up wondering whether the boat is still in the same place.
