The invention relates to a vessel (1) comprising at least two anchor lines (3,5) connected respectively at a substantially fixed position near the bow (2) and near the stern (4) of the vessel (1). The anchor lines are connected to a substantially fixed position winch system (6,7,15) for lengthening or shortening the anchor lines (3,5). For providing a weathervaning action through a range of about 0 DEG and 90 DEG , the anchor lines (3,5) are maintained in a tensioned state by the winch system (6,7,15) and are varied in length. In an embodiment the winch system (6,7,15) varies the length of the anchor lines (3,5) simultaneously. The anchor lines (3,5) near the bow (2) and the stern (4) can be formed of a single anchor line which is connected to a single winch (15) such that the anchor line which is payed out at the bow (2) is taken in at the stern (4) and vice versa. <IMAGE> |
