Definition
A circle centred on the anchor with radius equal to the veered cable plus the vessel's length overall, plus any offset between the bow roller and the GPS antenna. Neighbouring boats on different scope, or on rope rather than chain, will swing to different radii and at different rates, so anchor with regard to what others have laid rather than only to their present position.
