Have we decided on a name for the anchor maneuver?

@katttruewalker No, it's anchor kedging. Club hauling is wrong for what we do in game.
Explain.
@katttruewalker
Club hauling, hmmm but that's so proper! :P Surely there is a more SoT esque term that we could use. We already have to floof the sails, the monkeytower, the boom booms. What else.. hmm.@personalc0ffee said in Have we decided on a name for the anchor maneuver?:

Yes, read that same thing, matey and was told it is Club Hauling.
Actually everybody is correct in some fashion... kedging a ship indeed used the anchor to move the ship, but usually it involved taking a smaller secondary anchor aside for the main. And placing said anchor in a direction away from the ship and towing it via the capstan as means to maneuver in tight spaces like at port or small channels.
While "club hauling" or the "boxhaul maneuver" as it is known to some, dropped the anchor at speed as a means of tacking(turning) a sailing vessel when absolutely necessary like as seen in the first pirates movie... however the anchor was lost in the process. SoT ships clubhaul but get to keep the anchor as though they were kedging.
it was then Mcmuttonchops realized he knows alittle too much nautical trivia...
Club hauling:
"When a vessel is in a narrow channel or on a lee shore so that there is no room to tack the vessel in a conventional manner."Anchor kedging is what we do in game.

This is kedging my friend
We do have a name for it in Portuguese.
In real life its not used in high speed combat engages, otherwise your ship would break, most probably, your anchor would just take a dive and say goodbye. So that Movie you guys saw (I can't remember the name), of a Frigate engaging aliens droping anchor, its possible in game (not in real life), but not very effective if you can't destroy your target before it destroys you.Remember you always lose advantage when you anchor your ship in combat. Its easyer to board, and easyer to hit a stopped target.

Its not the same, I think he's reffering to the drop anchor engage maneuver.
The video talks about shallow waters, they needed to put the sails up, either because the water levers were low, on the channels we're tight to pass, they used the anchor to stabilize the ship as they moved foward thru the cannal so they wouldn't hit the bottom.

The translation to English is "Drop Iron" but it's not good.
But if you want to engage, you can always get a better use of Nelson's Maneuver then dropping anchor.Flat Sea and Good Winds on March 20th!

Horatio Nelson was an Officer at the Royal English Navy who defeated Napoleon.
He invented a maneuver wich consists on getting the most out of you cannons, getting you time to reload and hit the enemy again. In the game the reload doesn't really applies but the maneuver it self can be evasive and quite effective at the same time.Basically you draw an "eye" or make a "circle" with your ship. Its actually nowadays used in many Navy Officers Ranks all over the World, on their grade design.

In france we tend to call it "the handbrake turn"
Yeah it's definitely just handbrake or "anchor turn"
Speaking of the anchor turn/handbrake/whatever you wanna call it...
Some of you may know this, but for those who don't, you can preload your "handbrake". If you're preparing to make a quick turn ahead of time, say once you get behind a rock or you're trying to park quickly at an island, one of your crew members can drop anchor and catch it right before it hits bottom. It won't engage until it touches, so when you're ready, your crew member can let go and instantly hit the seafloor with the anchor and begin the turn.
