Anchoring: Why, Which, and How?
Tiffany Krihwan

Picture
Senior Captain on Milwaukee’s flagship Denis Sullivan, Tiffany is accustomed to keeping ships in place. Adapting those skills to all size boats, she will cover the basics of anchoring that any sailor needs. Demonstration materials will include different types of hawsers (if you don’t know what a hawser is, you need this class!). When you’re done, you’ll understand the many anchors used for a variety of sea bottom materials and terrain.

Captain Tiffany Krihwan sailed on the S/V Denis Sullivan on the schooner’s maiden voyage and returned in the fall of 2008 as Senior Captain. Having spent more than 35 years on boats, her passion for sailing has found her in command of sailing vessels from racing dinghies to chartered yachts, to tall ships. Beyond all that, she has received the Rod Stephens Trophy for Outstanding Seamanship and the 2001 Governor’s Award for Environmental Education Excellence. As part of a team of three she received the Arthur B. Hanson Rescue Medal from US Sailing for the rescue at sea of a lost seaman.
