Multihull of the year

Jonathan and his wife Josephine bought their Lightwave 38 new, and sail out of their homeport of Sydney, Australia. The couple regularly sail to the tropical north, but with places like the Whitsundays becoming increasingly popular, they decided to move their annual cruises south. Tasmania enjoys at least one Storm Warning a month through the summer, and many more in winter. The couple’s ground tackle has been honed to meet the demands of anything the Southern Ocean and Roaring Forties can throw at them. This article is a description of part of their ground tackle developments.

Multihulls, catamarans in particular, have been using bridles for decades. The major reasons to use a bridle were to reduce veering and to take the load off the windlass. Sadly, most multihull bridles miss one of the major advantages of introducing rope between chain and yacht because the common multihull bridle lacks elasticity. Multihull bridles tend to be too short and too large in diameter and if you want any snubbing effect, you need elasticity. Elasticity is simply best achieved with thin, long, commonly, nylon rope.

ENSURE YOU HAVE SWINGING ROOM!

Multihulls at anchor are subject to three primary effects, the windage of the vessel, yawing or veering (movement of side to side of the vessel caused by vessel characteristics or a wind that gusts from different directions) and horsing, up down see-sawing motion caused by waves, swell or chop. The common perception is that the windage of a vessel, in particular a catamaran, is a major concern. Indirectly this is true but directly the tension caused by the windage in a steady wind is well within the holding capacity of a correctly sized rode and anchor, properly set in a good holding seabed. It’s the movement of the multihull (or any other vessel) or bad luck that might cause an anchor to drag - not a steady tension caused by windage. Most modern 35 lb/15kg anchors will hold a steady pull of a couple of tons - a tension unlikely to be developed by a catamaran in any imaginable wind sized for such an anchor! It is snatch loads resulting from movement and lateral loads that are the killer - not ‘in line’ windage.

We often assume the quality of the ground tackle based on the anchor – seen here, a Spade. But the chain and the bridle are just as important! Our 75m (250’) of 6mm chain, in the near 2 pails, replaced the original 50m (160’) of 8mm chain, in the rear 2 orange pails, saving both space and weight - but sacrificing catenary. 

ANCHOR CHAIN CATENARY

The reason that veering can be the most catastrophic is simply that the multihull can ‘sail’ at anchor and any speed it develops can produce tensions in the rode well beyond windage. During testing at short scope, we have measure snatch loads of ‘only’ 650kg (1,450 lbs) - they are frightening, but the anchor has held. These tensions developed by veering can be increased with additional tensions from chop and swell, caused by the wind or a passing motor boat. The anchor rode has similarities to the bungee cord. A common chain develops a catenary when deployed, that ‘sag’ in the chain, and as the wind develops that sag is removed (in part) and the straightening of the sag is the chain absorbing some kinetic energy. If the wind eases that sag returns as the yacht is pulled forward. Unfortunately, catenary has a finite limit and at the point when the chain ...

Musings on anchor bridles

  • February 15, 2014

30 Comments

As I sat in the cockpit with our boat gently tugging at her mooring in Great Harbor, Jost Van Dyke , I took note of the catamaran just astern of us. The crew of the cat had rigged their mooring bridle at a very large angle, something we have done in the past as well.

Note the angle of the bridle legs.

They likely did so because the balls at that location have very long pennants but it made me think of some of the physics related to how rock climbers rig their anchors. A properly-rigged bridle actually splits the forces applied to the boat. This is in addition to helping to stop the boat from sailing around at anchor. Unbeknownst to many though, an anchor bridle with legs too short actually increases the forces applied to the boat, substantially in some cases. Take a look at the graphic below.

I ran my thinking past my friend Drew , a fellow PDQ owner and very experienced climber. With his permission, I have copied his reply to me below.

Particularly at narrower angles, the strain will actually come onto just one leg when the wind suddenly shifts. Thus there is a point of diminishing returns at about a 30 degree angle. I’m sure you’ve seen this. If the bridle is too long it will ride on the bottom, and several bad things can happen: chafe ( it’s fiber ), snag, and the hook comes off. In deep water this is minor, but on the Chesapeake I seldom anchor in more than 7 feet of water. One cure, if you want the long lines for shock absorption ( which matters more in shallow water ) is to run the lines along the side deck and cleat mid-ships. I doubt it matters to you, but when you go very shallow, particularly if there is any risk of surge, it really helps. Of course, if the waves start to break and you’re in the impact zone, you’re hosed. No cat can handle waves breaking on the bow at anchor; too much area. Footprints lost their Gemini that way, as did some Aussie . Another reason not to anchor too near the beach. Longer bridles give more shock absorption, which is good in shallow water with all chain. But see the problem above; the apex drags. The same math also applies to Bahamian moor. The angle should never exceed 120 degrees, because the force goes through the roof if the wind comes from the side. By the same token, if the wind shifts and you are on a shallow angle, the load will all be on one anchor ( the reason 2 anchors are pretty pointless in most storms; better to have a big Rocna, no?! ). In fact, this applies to any sort of anchor or rigging. Climbers, for example, aim for the 40-60 range; greater angle and the strain is more, lesser angle and the load is all on one if there is any swing. This is particularly bad for climbing anchors, because the anchor may shift in the crack. So for many reasons, 40-60 degrees is a sort of sweet spot.

Great info. Thanks Drew ! If you are interested in some excellent reading with very valuable technical info, do check out Drew’s blog !

I would say mine is in the 45-90 degree angle probably closer to 90…Good info with scientific reasons why…Good stuff

I think most people set it at a decent angle. Some just might not we aware of how it affects them.

Another place this comes into play is jacklines, those safety lines that make us feel better at night and when it’s nasty. Increase the mass to 500 pounds–the impact if you tripped from the cabin top, for example–watch the calculation go to 2850 pounds, and remember that the breaking strength of most jacklines is ~ 4500-5000 pounds when they are new. In practice jacklines are very dependable–the point is they need to be that strong.

Excellent point!

In cases in which you wanted a very short bridle perhaps a bridle with 3 legs could be used in which the center leg were composed of lighter cordage and brought back directly to a cleat in the windlass area. With careful tensioning of this center leg it could act as both a shock absorber and a load diverter such that the loads on the two side legs were acceptable.

It’s early now but that sounds complex. 🙂

Umm, you raise a valid point, and I don’t disagree with your results — but the diagram is a little misleading isn’t it? Even high school physics / mechanics tells you that the 100kg weight in the centre will end up with a horizontal and vertical component in the vectors applied at the bows – the arithmetic sum of which will still be 100kg. How can they possibly be more than 100kg? If you have 100kg “hanging there” ……regardless of the angles, the force applied is still 100kg.

I have not pulled out a scientific calculator to verify the formulae shown on this page but perhaps you may wish to:

http://www.chetwynd.info/other/anchors.htm

Mike – good link, but I don’t think its the same. The link you refer to is about using 2 anchors, both of which drag on the bottom. As they’re dragging towards each other, there is a horizontal load. In your case, as you look at a bridle, the bridle – if I’m not mistaken – is fixed to two immovable objects, your two bows. What about this? If you string a rope between the two bows and step on the rope, at one side, or in the middle, the amount of force you produce is still limited by your body weight. Wouldn’t you think? Anyway, it would make for a very good topic of conversation over a beer, next time we see each other face to face …….and that could be a while.

I look forward to that chat. Just for clarification though, when the author says anchor, he does mean an anchor in a nautical sense. He is specifically talking about climbing anchors which are fixed, like our bow cleats. Happy cruising!

Well noted Mike. In fact this is the same physical principle we all take advantage of when we step with a foot on a cleated mooring line to get the boat closer to the dock instead of pulling the line directly. Cheers, Marco.

Apparently so.

I guess I have to go back and review some physics and especially, some math!

Better get a scientific calculator too.

Excellent information. I had never put much thought behind the physics and loading on a anchor bridle. I have no experience on cats (trying to learn more), but have seen several cats use a bridle with loops spliced into the ends (basically set length) where the loop is just placed over the mooring bollard on each hull when being used as an anchor snub, not seen it used on a mooring. From what you have seen, is that a common practise?

Drew’s comment on the jack lines is so true. Really need to take extra care of them, as you never know when you may depend on them to stop you disappearing. We always rinsed the jack lines in fresh water after a race, never leaving them on deck unnecessary.

To secure to a mooring we use dual dock lines, each one beginning at a cleat, looping through the mooring ball or pennant and then led back to the same cleat that it originated from. In this way we can adjust the length and the angle.

I can’t agree with the “We always rinsed the jack lines in fresh water after a race, never leaving them on deck unnecessary…” viewpoint. While that makes sense to racers, it doesn’t make sense to many cruisers. We use jacklines when… * alone on deck, * at night, * when the water is cold, * when it gets rough, * when under spinnaker (short handed boats can’t turn around quick, and we consider a full crew), * and if there is risk of squalls.

You simply can’t be running around rigging jacklines in marginal conditions, alone, when there is deck cargo to be double checked and sails to furl or lower. The jackline needs to be there.

In other words, every day. The racer’s approach–with full crew and possibly chase boats–sounds to use like only wearing a seat belt when you need it… which is every day. How do you deal with UV? Either replace frequently or make them or something more UV resistant. Even for racers, jacklines that are there every day means you have practiced with them.

Ours are always rigged. For the most part, we had it that way on ZTC too. UV is no-doubt an issue.

Hi Drew, I didn’t mean to imply removing them while sailing, after race when you are back at the marina or mooring. 🙂 I have seen many race boats which leave all the safety head in deck until the next race. Taking care of equipment which potentially will save a life seems logical.

No need to learn celestial navigation when the misapplication of good old trigonometry can cost you the boat or live just as fast. 😀

The change in line loads are a bit counterintuitive but none the less very real. Thankfully the experiment to prove this is rather simple. Take a luggage or maybe fish scale, splice it into one leg of a bridle and attach a weight. Then observe the scale while pulling the bridle from parallel to a flatter angle.

I guess it’s time to exchange the good weather for more science in Mikes next video. 😉

I can’t actually tell if you’re agreeing with the post or not. 🙂

I did take out a fish scale and did as you suggested though. Although far from scientific, the force applied to the line did appear to be greater than the weight that I applied to it when the end points were separated at a great angle.

For the record, I agree. It is just a bit counter inductive. Most will just remember the pulley principle where the effort gets reduced. For some reason virtually all pulleys use parallel lines. And the reason is in above math.

Btw, I also checked my math with an old scale before writing the prior comment. Science! *g* Why did we never do such a relatively simple experiment to reinforce trigonometry lessons in school? It even contains fun with division by zero. We only did abstract stuff without any application… (I then studied electronics. Which contains lots of trigonometry you can’t see.)

There are always compromises. Two factors we all know but that were not mentioned.

1. A short bridle keeps the ball from hitting the hulls when the wind goes light and the cat drifts over the ball. This is the only reason I ever go that short.

2. A long bridle is better at aligning the boat with the wind. That’s why we have bridles in the first place. But how much is enough?

How many of you have ever moored or anchored without a bridle. Simply the line/chain over the bow roller to a strong cleat?

I do it every time. My cat does not sheer from side to side. There is no problem. Plus, it is easy.

Why complicate it?

Not even an option with the Leopard. It sails a lot.

Where does your anchor leave your boat? Starboard or port bow? Center-front of tramp? Center-aft of tramp?

Hey Mike, I’ve been searching for answers on the web for our particular problem, and this blog posting of yours actually came up although its really not the problem we are having, but might explain why the boat behind you had such a short bridle (I think that was your point, right?) But the problem we are having is with moorings….I hate them, and for good reason. Every time we hook up to one, when the wind stops, our boat rides up over the mooring ball, and the rope between the ball and the mooring rubs under whichever hull is the closest and proceeds to just wear away all our bottom paint. Happened again last night at St. John…..as soon as the wind stopped and the harbor was smooth, the ball went right between the hulls and the mooring was basically behind us as the boat couldn’t turn around because it was basically stuck “between our legs”. The only solution I’ve read about is to bring in the line that hangs off the mooring ball itself all the way as far as we can onto the boat. We have a cleat right next to our windlass and a roller up on our cross bar that we pulled the line over and got it right next to the cleat and looped it around several times with a spare line. What it does is keeps the ball from having enough slack to get on the other side of our hull and use the rope as a sander on our paint. The problem is that the park guy came by and said that we aren’t supposed to hook it up that way…we are messing up the mechanics of the way the mooring is supposed to be used. So, what did you guys do? I figure if a 60 foot mono hull can use that mooring, and they would weigh much more than my little 16,000 pounds, then I shouldn’t be messing up the load to the mooring any worse. Maybe the guy in your picture was just trying to keep the bridle as short as possible so that the ball wouldn’t be able to cross under his hull when ever the wind died down. Btw, we would normally hook up our long bridle to the eye loop on the mooring rope….but that would leave about 20 foot or so between our boat and the ball…and that’s where the problem is coming in. (sorry if I submitted this question more than once…was having a glitch when I was submitting it)

In certain places with squirrelly winds, and on balls with very long pennants, what you’re describing can be a problem. There are a couple of places that we liked to stay in the BVI where this would always occur. It typically only happens when the wind dies or is extremely light though. If our local knowledge told us that it was likely to occur, we would rig our bridle lines directly to the ball itself (same two lines we normally use), ignoring the pennant altogether. We secure the boat to the pennant as we normally due and then either from the dinghy, or while swimming, change the lines, one by one, to the eye on top of the ball (or some other spot not likely to chafe our lines). The only downside is that if the boat spins around a lot, your lines could get tangled. This has happened to us on at least one occasion. Your park ranger likely wouldn’t approve of this either.

That’s what a swivel is for, to keep the bridle from getting wrapped up and tangled. I don’t suppose most cruisers carry one or use a double bridle much on a monohull. Where we were in Chicago last summer everyone used a double bridle hooked directly to the mooring ball in this way with a swivel as that was the specified equipment. A few folks left out the swivel and their lines would get twisted up to the point that they sometimes broke, and then the boat would drift away into other boats and eventually the seawall where it would often break up and sink if nobody was there to save it. A couple of boats end up sinking this way every year in the harbor we were at. 2015 was a bad year with 3 boats sinking in the harbor because of bridle failures.

A bridle of about 25 feet also acts as a snubber which can reduce the shock loads of an all-chain rode by 2/3. these are not just for cats, but monohulls too can benefit. If dragging on the bottom is an issue in very shallow anchorages then the bridle can be ran back to the midship cleats. To combat the fear of the chain hook coming off there are many improved hook designs that secure the hook to the chain in such a way that it can’t come off.

Mantus anchors recommends a long bridle, and also sells a fairly decent chain hook that won’t fall off the chain when it goes slack.

http://www.mantusanchors.com/snubbersbridles/

I’m lost… what part of this post has anything to do with bridles getting twisted?

For the record, I am, in general, not a fan of swivels. In almost all situations they are unnecessary, and add a potential failure point to the system.

trimaran anchor bridle

Mooring a trimaran vs a monohull

QUESTION: I am coming from a monohull and considering my first trimaran. Are there any differences I should know about as far as anchoring and mooring are concerned?

ANSWER: Yes, a few things to note and prepare for. But first let me clarify that there are many different ways to moor a boat and certainly some that I'm sure work well that I've not yet tried, seen or even heard about. So please send in your own tips and if pertinent and interesting, I'll feature them in this chapter. Meanwhile, I will tell you what has personally worked well for me.

The first thing you might have to do, is to pick up your mooring! If there's plenty of water around your buoy, then practice coming in on a beam or close reach and then rounding up head-to-wind and see how far your particular boat travels. You will most likely find that a multihull approaches much faster but also decelerates faster than a monohull of the same size. It will depend a lot on whether there is a chop and how much wind, but once into the wind, the boat may not advance more than one boat length. A lighter boat will decelerate (and accelerate) faster than a heavier one whose forward momentum will help the boat carry on into the wind.

For the approach, I generally make sure the main is slackened off to slow the boat but work with the jib sheeted to retain good forward motion and steerage until I am ready to round up. Keeping in mind that I mostly do this solo (even if there is someone else on board), so I'll bring the tiller back to the center before running forward.

You'll probably find that once slowed to nearly a stop, your multihull will quickly pick up some serious side drift and soon be bearing off, sails filling and off sailing again before you had time to even think about it — so you need to either be ready and organized to catch the mooring first time or at least have a plan for sailing past it, bearing off or tacking, to make a fresh approach. If you sail over the mooring buoy, try to keep it closer to the ama than the main hull. There, it will not hang up with any brackets or waterstays.

Picking up the mooring.

This will depend on how the mooring is set up but first, let me say that I almost always 'sail' up to a mooring, rather than motor. (I just find it more controllable, as having learnt to sail in England just after the war, we almost never used motors or even owned one and believe me, the narrow rivers and estuaries were packed with small boats too). If there is a small dinghy moored there already and it is low enough*, I prefer to round up and sail a trimaran right up over the dinghy, so that it passes between the ama and the main hull. I can then go on the tramp to the forward aka and grab the dinghy's mooring line (painter) as it passes under.

trimaran anchor bridle

If for the first time, you're not sure the dinghy will pass under, then take it on the outside of the leeward ama, grab it's mooring line.  Then unsnap the dinghy and loop it around a cleat on the ama (or snap it to the tramp) and then walk the mooring line smartly forward, to cleat it on the main hull of the trimaran. Once you're attached you'll have time to get more organized… first lowering the jib and then the mainsail.

If it's a rubber dinghy, you're not taking much risk by trying to steer the boat so that the trampoline sails right over it, but you'll need to watch the antics of the dinghy carefully as you approach as they have a habit of turning 90 degrees just as you come up to them! If so, aim at brushing the dinghy bow with either the main hull or ama, so that it is turned fore-and-aft again where it should be.

If there is no dinghy, then take the mooring buoy between the main hull and the leeward ama. If the buoy has a loose mooring line already attached to it, you might find it helpful to use a boat hook to grab a line and then cleat it. If you really come in too fast, then you might just take the line up over the forward aka and hold it firmly down on the trampoline close to the main hull for a few seconds, until the boat decelerates and stops and then walk it forward for cleating. If your main hull is really too high above the water to reach the buoy even when kneeling or lying on the deck, then you can also pick it up off an ama but in this case, be ready to slip a line through the ring and walk it quickly to the main bow once the boat has come to a stop.

trimaran anchor bridle

I've had a few other sailors make these clobberhooks after seeing mine, but as I almost always have a dinghy left on the buoy, I mostly used the sailover approach where I could grab the buoy without needing the extra reach.

Permanent Mooring

Mooring a multihull, tri or cat with a single mooring line, does not work well. The combination of a light boat with nearly double the side windage, will have the boat sailing around from one extreme tack to the other, all day and night if there is a wind.

trimaran anchor bridle

For a short picnic stop, I prefer (on a 24–27' tri) to use a small Bruce anchor with no moving parts, 3-4ft of chain and a 3 ⁄ 8 " nylon mooring line. It's simple to handle and a Bruce of only 8–10lbs has a surprising capacity. But if you're in a place where you might experience some wind while moored overnight, you might want to rig up a bridle for the anchor line too. What I usually do then is put out my main anchor of 17 lbs (plus 6 ft of chain) and a scope of at least 5 times the water depth (usually in fairly shallow water). I'll then take a bight in the anchor line and make a loop. I then snap in the hooks of my mooring bridle into the loop and pay it out until the bridle takes the anchoring load. I've found that such a loop in a relatively large diameter anchor line has never pulled tight enough to be hard to undo, so this simple system has worked well for me.   If it's windy, having a small flag tied firmly astern, can help the boat to weather vane head to wind.    Just 2 sqft can help.    For mooring overnight, running a stern line to a tree on shore is a secure way to prevent the boat from sailing around.   If that stern line is long enough, you can simply wrap it around a tree and back to the boat.  That way, you only have to let go one end and haul in the line, so enabling you to pull away from the beach without having to go ashore again.  

See also a 2020 article of Anchoring Tips (link below)

Casting Off

While one could say this is a reverse of anchoring, perhaps there are a few things worth mentioning. I'll typically put down all the rudder blade and just a foot of daggerboard, haul up the main first (making sure the mainsheet is loose and free) and then take in the bridle, leaving the boat moored temporarily on a single line to the bow.

Once ready to leave, I'll haul up the jib and decide which tack gives me the most space. A multihull will often drift quickly to leeward for a few feet before gaining forward motion so you'll need to allow for that. If you're leaving a dinghy on the mooring, bring the end of the short central mooring line (that's attached to the buoy) and snap it on to the mooring line of the dinghy, on the outside of what will be the windward ama as you cast off. I'll then hold the mooring line (now uncleated) and watch the natural swings of the boat on the central mooring and as she starts to bear off on the right tack, I'll back the jib. At the same time, I'll hold the single mooring line (now with dinghy painter attached) and pull it aft along the windward ama, (making sure it does not foul with any cleats) and then let go. This gives the boat a good take off and adds enough steerage way to sail off the mooring with good control.

As I said in the preamble to this article, there are many ways of doing this but this one works well for someone who is often sailing single-handed as I do.

Mooring Cleats

While trimaran amas over 20ft (6m) will generally have space for real cleats, deck space is tight for smaller boats, so here is what I suggest and use on my W17.   For sure, install a solid 6" (150) cleat on the Main Hull foredeck, as you never know when you will need a tow and this also serves for your main anchor line.   But sometimes you may need to moor at a dock and need lines attached to other parts around the boat.    For this, I prefer to install a strong S/S eyestrap on each corner of both amas.   These have mounting holes for at least 3/16" (4mm) S/S bolts or sturdy screws that can be installed in epoxy if under-deck access for Nyloc nuts is not readily available.    The eyestraps have the advantage that other ropes cannot accidentally be caught around them and they are also lightweight and take very little space.    For docking itself, you can either use dedicated 3/8" nylon mooring lines of say 12-16ft (4-5m) with one end spiced to a snaphook, or you can simply attach such lines with a bowline to the eye..   These straps are even strong enough to use with a mooring bridle, as you can still have a slack back-up line to the main cleat, as noted above.

For any sort of emergency, the strongest place to attach a rope to a boat like the W17 is to loosely loop it around one of the main beams and tie it off with a bowline.

on Yahoo Groups. Yahoo is a very poor platform for searching compared to CF but you will find and get good responses by experts to questions about your . The F-boat (singular) group is more popular and the , Ian Farrier, often answers personal inquiries there. The F-boats (plural) group is much less used. The Yahoo group has been abandoned and taken over by dating companies or smut sellers or some such???!!! (I've never paid attention,...... really)

If on a ball overnight or short term I and others rig a tight between the main bow cleat and a forward eye fitting on one of the floats. The bridle lines are short enough, (~3-5') that the ball can not hit either . The reason is that at tide change or tide vs the ball can bang up against the hull. I've never tried it in in high winds or my permanent moorage buoy. Other times I rig regular ~15' bridle lines from each float and tied to the main line, (or center hull mooring pennant) with pressik slings. I cleat the main anchor line with just a bit of slack to take some strain if the pipes up above 10-15 knots. Others at anchor just lead the anchor line or mooring pennant, (no bridle), thru a large snatch block clipped or tied on the end of the bow sprit. Much easier if you sprit is the older style that hinges up vs pokes out of a hole in the bow. I make sure the sprit is supported by a stout and whisker stays. I'm a little leery of this when there is a chance of higher winds, say 15 knots. The Yahoo above will have others who have more experience than I who can give you better info. Or it you can figure out how to search the Yahoo forum, (this luddite hasn't yet), that info has surely been discussed before. All these can minimize sailing on the hook. Go till you get confident in your system.

If you are on the left coast, as you say, check out BAMA for SF Bay/NoCal, or NWMA for Pacific NW/Seattle to meet local fboaters and in SoCal Mike Leneman of Multimarine is a great source of info. Might be others too.

Multihull anchoring and mooring buoys

  • Will Bruton
  • July 24, 2018

Handling a catamaran in manoeuvres can sometimes be 
easier than with a monohull, but there are a few surprising differences. Paul Hayes showed Will Bruton how to do it

While the divide between multihull and monohull is still very much in evidence, what isn’t in dispute is just how close to the on-shore action a catamaran can get you.

They also offer unparalleled amounts of space and comfort on board, and new catamarans have surprisingly impressive performance.

While they remain immensely popular for a yacht charter holiday abroad, multihulls are also becoming a viable option for cruising in the UK.

Mainly due to their shape and size, catamarans behave differently at anchor and on a mooring buoy. The secret is to play to the boat’s strengths rather than treating her like a monohull.

The high topsides dictate that reaching over the side to pick up a buoy is less of an option but the immense beam, with a separate engine in each hull, gives the ability to turn the boat without needing forward motion through the water.

With a few simple techniques, you’ll find a catamaran is just as easy, if not easier to anchor and pick up a mooring, with far more options to choose from.

Into shallow water

Being able to creep into shallow water is a gamechanger, but before going right up to the beach, make a plan. Check your chart as you would normally, determining in your head as to how far you are going in and what limits you are setting yourself.

If your multihull has daggerboards, make retracting them early part of your routine so that you are not worrying about it at the last minute, or worse.

Swinging around

High sided, lightweight and with little resistance in the water, a catamaran will swing around completely differently to a monohull, both at anchor and on a mooring buoy.

A performance catamaran moored between two heavy set cruising monohulls is less than ideal.

If the wind is blowing in a consistent direction and at a consistent speed when you arrive, meaning every boat in the anchorage is pointing in the same direction, this can also lead to a feeling that it will stay this way.

A slight change in wind direction will affect the catamaran almost instantly. So, if in doubt, leave a bit more room between you and those on either side of you.

One major advantage of mooring in close is that less chain means less swinging room.

When you are anchored, the catamaran will pivot from a bridle rigged between the two hulls, which also acts as a snubber. When moored, two lines, one from each hull to the buoy, ensures even distribution of load, a smooth swing on the buoy and an extra degree of security.

Multihull skills: Picking up a mooring

For the purposes of this article, we will focus on a technique that works well when you are shorthanded.

It might seem counterintuitive to reverse towards a mooring when you want to beat the front of the boat but done correctly, this is by far the easiest technique.

In a high-sided catamaran, the stern bathing platform is likely to be the only place from which it is easy to reach the pickup line in the water.

A multihull being moored

Walk the long line to the bow once you’ve picked up the mooring. Credit: Andrew Sydenham

First, set up a long line from one hull’s forward cleat, getting your crewmember to pay out the line out as they walk aft. Reverse towards the buoy but remain downwind of it, aiming to put the pickup line just off the aft quarter of the hull closest to the helm station.

The crew should easily be able to pass the line through the eye on the buoy.

The helm can make small adjustments on the engines to keep the boat close to the buoy while the crew walks forward and takes in on the mooring line. Once the buoy is close to, secure the line.

For short stays, there’s no need to add a second line but if you’re staying for any length of time, a line from the other bow will need to be rove through the buoy to square the boat up.

Anchoring a multihull

As with anchoring a monohull, positive communication with hand signals between crew and helm from start to finish of the process will make things a lot easier.

On most catamarans, the anchor falls from the centre of the boat while being paid out and not from the bow, meaning that, even with a raised helm position, it can still be hard for the helm to see where the chain is going.

Before dropping the anchor, have a look into the anchor locker and check none of the anchor bridle is going to get caught as you drop. This will mean holding it clear as you lay the chain out.

Paying out a chain on a multihull

Pay out the chain but hold the bridle clear. Credit: Andrew Sydenham

If anchoring in very shallow water, bear in mind that the bridle will add another 5m or more of scope at the end.

Once you have set the anchor and checked that it is well dug in by applying a little throttle astern, it’s time to rig the bridle. The bridle brings the pivot point forward between the two hulls, as well as spreading the load and reducing the snatching on the anchor.

Hook the bridle to the chain, then let out at least 5m of chain. Credit: Andrew Sydenham

Take the bridle out of its stowage position and secure the shackle or hook through a link in the chain. Then, let out chain while feeding out the bridle with your other hand.

The bridle will take the strain and end up a few metres forward of the bow, while the chain hangs down in a loop.

Top tips from Gavin Lesueur, author of Multihull Sailing

  • When anchoring with a bridle, always let a good loop of chain fall below where your bridle takes the strain. This ‘lazy loop’ acts as a catenary, hanging into the water, taking the wind and wave shock out of the anchor line.
  • Always carry a kedge anchor. As with a monohull, a strong lightweight kedge anchor can be invaluable to help pull you off an obstacle if you do run aground. It can also be used to reduce the swing range in a tight anchorage.
  •  Multihulls with ‘prodders’ (bowsprits for a spinnaker) require extra care when rigging a bridle. Practise setting up the bridle before you need to use it in a tight anchorage, as the arms sometimes need to be longer than usual
  • Bridle length. Your bridle should always be at least the width of the beam of your multihull. Keep in mind that a bridle is also a universal way of centralising load – for example, it can also be used for a drogue at the stern of the yacht in foul weather.

Catamaran Sailing Techniques Part 3: Anchoring and picking up a mooring – with Nigel Irens

  • Matthew Sheahan
  • February 17, 2016

Catamarans can be a bit frisky at anchor, but multihull expert Nigel Irens has some tips to make anchoring and mooring safer and more comfortable

trimaran anchor bridle

The general game plan in anchoring on a cat under power is much as it is on a monohull – approach the spot where you intend to drop the anchor from dead downwind and signal to the foredeck when you are ready for it to be dropped.

The only snag is the catamaran’s stubborn desire not to remain in a stable condition head-to-wind in anything but the lightest breeze. It’s just as well, then, that the twin engines allow you to hold station and heading reasonably well, provided you’re firm with the controls and act with as much deliberation as you can muster.

It obviously helps if you can avoid hanging around too long in limbo with no way on – which invites that headwind to take control of the boat.

Keeping your position

Once the anchor is on the bottom you can drop back downwind – once again playing the engine controls to help the boat stay head to wind until the point where you have snubbed the anchor in.

If you’re operating in waters that are free from tidal movement or other currents you might expect to lie head to wind like the other boats around you, but there’s another snag that needs to be addressed before you can feel relaxed about this. The problem is related to the above-mentioned reluctance of a catamaran to lie head to wind, although with any luck your boat will already be fitted with a solution to this one.

What happens is that the boat starts to range around the anchor. This process begins as the bow falls off to one side or the other and the boat starts to ‘sail’ forward – say at about 45° to the wind axis. Eventually the bow will be forced to come head to wind because the direction of travel can only be a radius around the anchor.

Eventually the boat slows down and comes to wind, but because the anchor rode is still pulling the bow to one side the boat tacks through the eye of the wind and sets off with renewed vigour on the other tack.

It’s not hard to imagine that this cyclic pattern can repeat itself until the boat is careering about, taking up much too much space in the anchorage and generally winding up the neighbours. Viewed from above the physics of this phenomenon is not unlike that which makes a flag flap.

The bridle takes the load and the anchor chain to the boat is now slack. Note recovery line

The bridle takes the load and the anchor chain to the boat is now slack. Note recovery line

To solve the problem the anchor rode needs to be attached to a bridle rather than directly to the bow roller. This involves attaching one end of a rope to each bow and the middle of the resulting span to the anchor chain or warp. As the bow of the boat falls off the wind axis the tendency is for the rope on the lee bow to take the load as the windward one goes slack.

This asymmetric load will be far more effective in putting the boat back head to wind before it has had time to build up any speed than a single rode to the centreline.

Anchor sequence

You can experiment with the length of the bridle, but something approaching an equilateral triangle (as viewed from above) seems to work pretty well, although the boat you’re sailing probably has the bridle already set up correctly and ready to use.

Clear hand signals are also required when raising the anchor to help the helmsman reduce load on the windlass

Clear hand signals are also required when raising the anchor to help the helmsman reduce load on the windlass

So the sequence of events in anchoring is roughly as follows:

  • Pick the best looking spot to anchor
  • Approach the chosen spot from downwind and give the crew the go-ahead to drop the anchor when you’re in position.
  • Move astern downwind as the crew pay out the anchor rode and snub the anchor in.
  • Set the bridle and slacken the anchor rode until the load is taken up by the bridle.
  • If the boat won’t settle at her anchor for some reason – fickle winds, some unwanted counter current or whatever – you may have to think about laying a second anchor.

This is best done from the tender and although the learning curve might be quite steep, a bit of trial and error could leave you better placed for the day you need to ride out heavy weather from a known direction.

The second anchor should be set so that the angle between the first and second anchor chain is between 90° and 60°.

Picking up a mooring

If you are picking up a mooring rather than anchoring, visibility – or the lack of it – might be a problem, so the old tactic of getting a crewmember to hold the boathook aloft from the forward end of the boat and point it at the buoy is as good a way as any of telling the helmsman what’s happening.

If the buoy you’re aiming to pick up has no rope or chain leader attached to it then it might be almost impossible to get a temporary line through the ring without launching the tender – especially if your freeboard is high. If so there’s a cheeky work-around involving offering the boat up to the mooring stern first.

Using a boat hook to help guide the helmsman to the buoy that you want to pick up. Don’t worry about looking like a whaler about to launch a harpoon!

Using a boat hook to help guide the helmsman to the buoy that you want to pick up. Don’t worry about looking like a whaler about to launch a harpoon!

For a start the helmsman should have both a good view of the buoy and the ability to communicate with the line handler. Once a line has been attached, the helmsman should be able to spin the boat round easily enough so the line handler can to bring a slack mooring line round to the bow as the boat turns – but not so slack as to risk it getting sucked in by the propeller, which could be embarrassing at best and dangerous at worst.

Mooring sequence

A recap on the procedure would read something like this:

  • Find the buoy you have been allotted – or choose a suitable one if you haven’t had any specific instructions.
  • Bring the boat up to it from downwind and get the crew to bring up the leader with the boat hook, get a temporary line through the eye and secure the free end on a cleat or any other strong point that comes to hand.
  • That’s it – you’re safe! It just remains to set the bridle as above and you’re done.

Anchoring or picking up a mooring under sail is more difficult than would be the case in a monohull. This results from that old problem about catamarans being more skittish than monohulls, having more windage above the water and less hull below it.

That is not to say that it couldn’t be attempted when an anchorage is spacious enough and not overcrowded. On the contrary, taking on such challenges in the right conditions helps build confidence and develop the skills necessary to anticipate the way the boat will behave in different circumstances.

Ultimately much of the pleasure that sailing has to offer involves mastering new skills and developing prowess in handing whatever boat you happen to be sailing.

Inevitably doing so involves taking on challenges that will get your adrenalin popping from time to time – as it is meant to do. It was ever thus!

Do’s and don’ts

  • DO spend some time practising holding your catamaran head to wind under power.
  • DO snub the anchor in properly so that you can feel the boat being tugged forward when you put the engine back in neutral.
  • DO make sure your crew are properly briefed about their role in making anchoring and mooring a pleasure.
  • DON’T forget to make sure they know they should delay paying out more chain after the anchor has hit the bottom until the boat is visibly moving astern. This avoids the risk of chain piling up on top of the anchor and perhaps fouling the flukes.
  • DON’T drop an anchor if there really isn’t enough space. A catamaran needs more space than other boats because it is big and often a bit frisky at anchor.
  • DON’T give up too easily – you have an ace card to play in that you draw less than the average monohull so can probably find some clear water that’s no use to them! In tidal waters you can even dry out and have a very peaceful night.

Our eight-part Catamaran Sailing Skills series by Nigel Irens, in association with Pantaenius , is essential reading for anyone considering a catamaran after being more familiar with handling a monohull.

Part 4: Cruising upwind under sail – potentially a cat’s weakest point of sail

Series author: Nigel Irens

One name stands out when you think of multihull design: the British designer Nigel Irens.

His career began when he studied Boatyard Management at what is now Solent University before opening a sailing school in Bristol and later moving to a multihull yard. He and a friend, Mark Pridie, won their class in the 1978 Round Britain race in a salvaged Dick Newick-designed 31-footer. Later, in 1985, he won the Round Britain Race with Tony Bullimore with whom he was jointly awarded Yachtsman of the Year.

His first major design success came in 1984 when his 80ft LOA catamaran Formule Tag set a new 24-hour run, clocking 518 miles. During the 1990s it was his designs that were dominant on the racecourse: Mike Birch’s Fujicolour , Philippe Poupon’s Fleury Michon VIII , Tony Bullimore’s Apricot . Most famous of all was Ellen MacArthur’s 75ft trimaran B&Q, which beat the solo round the world record in 2005.

His designs have included cruising and racing boats, powerboats and monohulls, but it is multis he is best known for.

Mooring Retrieval and Bridle Setup

How to moor 101.

In this episode, Joe teaches us how to approach and successfully and safely secure a catamaran to a mooring ball, as well as how to correctly set up a bridle. Joe demonstrates this as a solo sailor and also the communication involved in this between a helmsperson and crew member.

MOORING FIELD CONSIDERATIONS

  • Wind & Tide   – approach a mooring much like you would when you’re anchoring a boat, from downwind. Very slow, very controlled, up towards the mooring and then stop just on top or just before we get to the mooring.
  • Other boats   – The gaps you’re going through might be quite small. So it’s about keeping a good lookout. If you’ve got a crew member on the bow anyway, ready with a boat hook to pick up the mooring, then you can utilize them as your second pair of eyes and ears.

trimaran anchor bridle

MOORING BALL DIFFERENCES

  • Colour   – Police moorings in general, in Australia anyway, are blue. So, it’s generally best to avoid them.
  • Public/ Private   – look on your chart or your chartplotter for public moorings. These are set in place, serviced regularly, and available for public use.
  • Weight limit   – It may say on it or on the chart the weight limit. You need to make sure that the mooring is graded correctly for your vessel

trimaran anchor bridle

SINGLE-HANDED RETRIEVAL

  • Prepare the foredeck area   – get the boat hook ready. Set this to maximum length
  • Aim for mooring   – (Halfway between centre and helm side of the catamaran). Initial approach to the mooring ball will be using the wheel and the engines in conjunction. Guiding the boat and getting it on track from downwind.
  • Lock the wheel about a boat length from the mooring ball   (making sure it’s centred)
  • Approach the mooring using the engines   – at this low speed, the only way to effectively steer the boat is using both engines in and out of gear.
  • A burst of reverse   – Once you lose sight of the mooring ball let the boat drift for another metre or so, so that it’s directly underneath that crossbeam. Then go into reverse just to bring the boat to a stop.
  • Walk to the front, grab the boat hook, and grab the mooring ball.

trimaran anchor bridle

MULTI-HANDED RETRIEVAL

It’s really important to brief the crew member on what you want them to do and to communicate the location of the mooring ball.

  • Point to the mooring ball
  • Countdown – It doesn’t matter whether you use feet, meters, inches. Using fingers signal to the helmsperson how far you are from the mooring ball.
  • Hands as a fist to symbol stop the boat
  • Grab the mooring ball

trimaran anchor bridle

BRIDLE SET UP

INITIAL SECURING

  • Cleat   – utilise the spare anchor roller, run the line over that to the cleat on the cross beam
  • Pull in all other lines 

BRIDLE   – Using two additional mooring lines

  • Take mooring line   (tie a bowline in the end if needed)
  • Secure to the bow cleat
  • Run the line from the bow.
  • Pull through the mooring ball.
  • Run back the same way and cleat.
  • Repeat on other side.
  • Ease all lines out and over the bow
  • Adjust if needed

trimaran anchor bridle

LEAVING THE MOORING

  • Undo line 1
  • Undo line 2
  • Pull in lines –  this is essential so they don’t go into the sail drive.
  • Back to helm   – quickly to take control of the boat

I had a DF920 for 20 years and never bothered. Centreboard (or in your boat, dagger board) up, rudder down and lashed, and the boat sits quietly, much less swinging around than a similar sized mono.

We have a bridle but both arms of the bridle are easy to access and we have horn cleats on each bow. We find that even though we have easy access to both sides of the bridle when we let go of one arm the cat then swings and lies partially side on to the wind, If you have the mainsail up she then sails forward (and you are still on the bow). This matters not if there is more than you on board but for single handed, depends on how close other yachts are, it might be anxious. We thus have a centre pennant that we attach to a horn cleat amidships. Normally the centre line is slack, when we leave we take tension in the centre line, release both sides of the bridle and we then lie into the wind - it makes for a much more relaxed procedure. When we return to the swing mooring we do the reverse - use the centre line as the pick up line, with a dan buoy type pole that can be reached from the bow deck/crossbeam. Tri's seem to behave differently to cats and seem to have different procedures. Much will also depend on where and what are your strong points for attachment of the bridle, pick up line. I assume when you will have 'weather' you will take her ashore. Jonathan  

Tris need mooring like monohulls in the main. Don’t tie up anywhere by the amas, except maybe an extra spring. Tris lie best, swinging, pontoon or finger berth, with all lines to the main hull. Dragonflys don‘t have cleats on the amas. Newbies and mono owners have been known to ask why not. Even tie lines to the u bolts on the ama bows. That’s not what they are for.  

Its good to have owners with real experiences, all power to you and Angus. Jonathan  

Bajansailor

Bajansailor

trimaran anchor bridle

To underline what Bejansailor says Our moorings and all the other moorings, 100s of them, where we moor Josepheline are concrete blocks. About 1nm north of us are moorings for super yachts, when they wait to go down to The Harbour for a Jolie. One of the moorings was specifically installed for Southern Cloud, SOUTHERN CLOUD Yacht | Fraser and are 3 x 1.75t Danforth anchors set at 120 degrees to each other with a central riser. The mooring is Classification Society certificated. The issue is - concrete is cheaper than approved anchors and easier (think cheaper) to service. As Bejan intimates a Danforth given time and use will simply bury itself and continue to bury itself. The constant worrying of the anchor by moored yachts (and no retrieval) simply encourages the Danforth to bury more deeply - and its retrieval requirements simply increase. Fine for the owners of Southern Cloud - but not something a private owner needs to encounter. I am sure that there is a means to calculate the holds that might develop on day 1 when the mooring is installed and how the hold increases with use - concrete blocks are easier Jonathan  

Remember that concrete loses approximately half of its weight once submerged in sea water. When I laid moorings for my 60' ex fishing boat, it was three 150kg Danforth (type) anchors at roughly 120°, each on 45' of 32mm studlink chain, connected to a central ring, and then a riser chain to a buoy. Although these are heavy items, they are individually manageable, whereas the concrete block with equivalent holding ability, would have been massively heavy.

Chiara’s slave said: Same, though we had our F27 on a swinging mooring, a DF800 prior to that. Our 920 is moored to a pontoon. The trouble with a bridle for a tri is how to get to the float tips. Some F boats have front nets, but they don’t usually go that far forward. Therefore a spliced loop around each front cleat on either side of the main hull is what you use. Pick it up and attach one side, relax before passing the other uder the bobstay to the other cleat. The biggest line that sits comfortably on the cleat is what you want. Centreboard up, rudder down, as you say. Click to expand...

We used just the small sort on our F boat, and would again on the current beastie.  

Stemar

I have an 8m cat with a 4m beam. My mooring is a 4' railway wagon wheel, buried 4' into gloopy mud, with a chain riser and a bridle made of 18mm polysteel rope with a Brummel splice making an eye with a steel thimble in the middle and eye splices at each end. One end goes to each hull, giving a roughly right angled isosceles triangle. We find the boat sits better than with a single line, with less tendency to sail around the mooring. We had the same setup on our previous Snapdragon 24 monohull, taking a line though each of the bow fairleads. She also sat better, so I could well imagine a tri being happier doing the same thing. The ideal would be to spread the lines out to each ama, but they'd obviously have to be designed to take mooring loads, which many aren't. The reason for doing this instead of the previous single chain strop was the rate of wear on the chain. The polysteel's been there for three years now, and is still going strong, while a three year old chain strop would definitely have had me worried in the recent blow. An additional advantage of polysteel over chain is that the polysteel floats, and is a lot lighter to pick up. A disadvantage is that, because it floats, it gathers weed, so it often looks like something out the creepier bits of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Jimmy Green V-Shaped Anchorplait ®  Nylon Chain Snubbing Bridles provide an excellent shock-absorbing solution where the forward deck layout or the stemhead and bow roller design/dimensions are not conducive to successfully deploying a single snubbing line.

Custom Build a chain snubbing bridle to access your mooring cleats via the port and starboard forward fairleads - spliced and whipped by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team to your bespoke requirements.

The bridle will share the load between two cleats with a choice of Chain Hook/Grab/Gripper.

Anchorplait V-shaped bridles share the load between each tail and can subdue any tendency for a yacht or multihull to yaw at anchor by naturally transferring the load to the windward tail as the yacht veers.

It is important to bear in mind that the load will only be shared equally when the yacht or multihull is headed directly into the wind and waves, which may only be a small proportion of the time at anchor.

Jimmy Green V-shaped bridles avoid creating a bottleneck along the centre line through the stem fitting and over the bow roller by utilising the port and starboard mooring cleats and fairleads.

Jimmy Green V-Shaped Anchorplait Nylon Bridle Guide:

  • A Jimmy Green Snubbing V-Bridle (twin strop) should be approximately 3 metres to 10 metres in length for each tail - the longer it is, the more it will stretch.
  • Anchorplait is far easier to manage in longer lengths than traditional twisted lay ropes, making Anchorplait Snubbing Lines much kinder to hands and simpler to stow
  • The beauty of Anchorplait is its manageability, so there is less practicable restriction on the optimum length of the bridle legs
  • There are more considerations for multihulls - see below
  • The apex of the bridle can be attached to the chain with a rolling hitch or a spliced Chain Hook/Grab/Gripper, which can be retentive
  • The two tails should be routed through the forward port and starboard fairleads, with the ends made fast to the port and starboard mooring cleats on the foredeck
  • It may be possible to extend the length of the tails, thereby increasing the elasticity, by careful routing (avoiding chafe points) to port and starboard mooring cleats further aft

N.B. Chain hooks are not designed to fit through the link of a calibrated chain. Locate the chain hook, gripper, or grab over one link so that the load is bearing on the outside of the next link (which will be at right angles).

  • The bridle rope diameter should be comparable with your main anchor rode
  • Splicing retains far more of the rope strength than tying a knot - knots can reduce the break load by as much as 50%, while a professional splice will generally retain approximately 80-85% of the original load capacity (this percentage can vary with the rope and splice construction) The effects of tying a knot
  • Adding a mooring compensator on each tail will increase the elasticity of the bridle - this extra shock absorbing capacity could be utilised to limit the length of the line.
  • Adding anti-chafe webbing will protect the lines where they lead through the fairleads, and where they may come into any abrasive contact from there to the mooring cleats.

Jimmy Green Advisory on V Shape and Y Shape Anchorplait Bridles for Multihulls:

The same principles apply to a monohull, but the length of the tails and the angle they create will require careful consideration due to the extra beam. The maximum angle of deployment must always be set up with caution. The extra tail length required to keep the angle within prudent parameters may result in too large a swinging arc and a general lack of control. For wide-span catamarans and trimarans, it will be advisable to use two separate strops shackled together to make the V shape. A further short strop can also be deployed at the apex of the V to make a Y shape.

Jimmy Green V-Shaped Anchorplait Bridle Splicing - Facts and Features:

  • A Jimmy Green V-shaped bridle is based on the Jimmy Green Anchorplait Centre Eye Splice (with or without a thimble/chain hook).
  • The bridle is produced from one continuous line, made into a soft loop around the eye of a fitting or formed around a hard thimble eye with a Brummel Locking Tuck and splice.
  • The strength of the bridle is therefore not reliant on a Y Joining Splice, i.e. splicing two separate ropes together.
  • The maximum angle of deployment must always be set up with caution, but the centre eye splice is much less prone to failure at a wider than optimum angle than any joining splice between two separate ropes.
  • It is not possible to successfully put a centre eye splice in a rope of three-strand construction.
  • Three-Strand Rope Splicing should not be contemplated as a viable solution for creating a V-Bridle

Attaching the hook or grab with a shackle may seem a little clunky, but it does mean that the hook can be removed for a mooring application and replaced if required.

Anchor Snubber & Bridle Design

Anchor snubber design is straight forward but bridle design is slightly more complex. Many folks don't realize the choice of hooks limits the options on bridle types and vice-versa. The two most common types of bridles are Y-spliced and two independent legs. Y-spliced bridles will accept most hooks but with independent leg bridles it's trickier.

boats with anchor snubbers in storm

A simple line and a hitch for snubbing is still fairly popular, especially with old salts. Braided nylon line and recycled climbing rope are common because they are elastic and easier to tie than 3-strand. The rolling hitch, icicle hitch and the prussik knot (requires a loop of rope or sling) are common hitches and knots used for attaching the line to the chain rode. Some hitches have better holding power than others (icicle), some are more difficult to remove after being wet and loaded (rolling) and others are less impactful on rope strength (prussik). This basic snubber can be had for the cost of a length of line and the time invested in a YouTube video or Animated Knots tutorial on how to tie a hitch.

Designs with Hooks

If the thought of a hitch on a chain standing between staying set or dragging anchor on a windy night isn't your idea of security, you should consider a hook. Given the scope of the topic, we've dedicated a full page to it. Check out our snubber bridle hooks page for details. Next up, how to attach the hook to the lines.

Line Spliced or Tied Directly to Hook

There are four common methods of attaching the hook: a simple knot (bowline is common), splicing the line directly to the hook, splicing a hard eye directly to the hook, or attaching the hook using a shackle. I'll address the latter two in the next section. Whether you tie a knot or splice the rope directly to the hook without a thimble, the resulting rope strength will be reduced by half. Ok, that makes sense for knots but doesn't a splice preserve much of the rope's strength? Yes, but when the line is bent 180° around the small radius of a hook's eye (image lower right), then the rope's strength takes a ~50% hit. Sure, increasing rope size might solve the strength issue but it's less elastic for a given length than smaller diameters and much of the snubbing benefit is lost. If you choose to splice directly to the hook, remember it's another splicing effort and 1-2 feet of line to change the hook out. Either way, if you're going directly to the hook, check the eye carefully for burrs or rough areas that might accelerate chafing. If it was a windy night and I was on the hook with this design, I would probably have my head sticking out the deck hatch most of the night checking for drag. [Image: left - hook tied with knot, right - line spliced directly to hook's eye]

Hard Eye Designs

In the author's opinion, if you're going with a snubber instead of a bridle, this is the design that provides a peace of mind when the wind kicks up. If sized appropriately, snubbers with hard eyes and bow shackles accept most hooks and are ideal for everyday use and even a hard blow. This design preserves more of the rope's strength than other designs. A splice typically reduces rope strength by ~10% and the bend around the thimble deducts another 10%. That's right, 20% right off the top, but it's better than the 50% - 60% using the methods above. If the hook's eye will accept a thimble directly, you can eliminate the shackle; however, using a shackle makes it easy to change hooks. In addition to maintaining a large radius bend to preserve rope strength, the thimble reduces rope chafe on the eye as it lies between the rope and the hook or the shackle. Boats that are heavy for their length and/or have a high wind profile should probably opt for heavy duty thimbles. [Image: Common snubber design sold by manufacturers]

anchor snubber common basic design

Y-spliced bridles are essentially a single line snubber with a 2nd line spliced into it. Many manufacturers use this design since it affords the consumer a wide array of hook options (since the bridle has a single eye like a snubber, most hooks should work). Similar to the snubber designs discussed above, consider a design using a hard eye and shackle to attach the hook. The greatest downside to the Y-spliced bridle is it lacks two fully independent legs; the point from the Y splice to the hard eye is essentially a single line. This design does not provide full redundancy or a significant increase in strength similar to the independent leg bridle. [Image: Y-spliced bridle during fabrication]

anchor bridle y splice design

  • Ideal for monohulls and boats that are not excessively heavy for their class. Vessels with significant wind profiles or that are heavy for their class should consider independent leg bridles.
  • Fair-weather, weekender or other boaters unlikely to be caught in a severe storm should be fine with this bridle type.
  • Full-time cruisers should opt for two independent legged bridles if possible. The range of conditions and the likelihood of getting caught in a storm are greater - having full redundancy in the lines seems like a safer bet
  • Y bridles should not be used on catamarans unless the bridle has long legs and the full length of the legs is deployed in all but the lightest wind. With the wide beam on catamarans, short deployments create a wide inside angle where the 2nd leg is spliced into the primary one. Taking a cue from the lifting industry, loading a bridle with a high inside angle can cause extraordinary loads on the splice and the lines. For a detailed explanation and images see the Catamaran Anchor Bridles page
  • This design should NOT be used for storm bridles

Bottom line: Y bridles are commonplace, and failures are seemingly rare on monohulls. Heck, I build and sell them at 48° North Marine, but, let's face it, they are a compromise (albeit small) due to the lack of hooks that can accommodate two independent legs.

Independent Legs

Bridles made from two independent lines provide strength and redundancy where bridles fail most often: the rope. The primary issue with this bridle type is only a few hooks are designed to accommodate two independent legs. Most hooks on the market do not readily support independent legs without over-sizing the shackle.

Hooks with multiple eyes (Seadog Chain Gripper Plate) and hooks with large eyes (Victory Hook) are designed to support bridles with two independent legs. These hooks are manufactured by brand name companies and have been on the market for many years, but neither, unfortunately, are load rated. Most other hooks on the market are not well suited for independent legs and require a grossly over-sized shackle to adapt them. I use "grossly" with intent here. Simply upsizing the shackle to the first size that will accommodate two hard eyes is not viable; the thimbles will not sit correctly in the shackle. Shackles need to be upsized by 2 or 3 sizes to provide ample room for the thimbles. Example: A pair of 3/4" thimbles (or hard eyes) will fit into a 5/8" shackle but the thimbles hang from their edges. A 3/4" shackle will allow some thimbles to seat well, but a 7/8" or 1" shackle may be required for others. Assuming a 3/4" SS shackle can be used, that's 2 lbs of shackle with a cost (at the time of this writing) of $59.00 for the cast version and $146 for the forged version. A 7/8" SS shackle is 4.3 lbs, $66.00 for cast and $167.00 for forged. A 1" is 5 lbs and $96.00 for cast (I didn't want to look at the forged cost!). These are beasts; hence my choice of the adverb "grossly".

Bridles with two independent legs are probably the better choice, but considering the limited number of hooks suited for this design, or the mutant shackle requirements to adapt incompatible hooks, it's easy to understand why y-splice bridles are popular. [Image: Bridle w/ 2 independent legs on Victory style hook]

Brummel Splice

Brummel spliced bridles are uncommon but are sold by a couple of manufacturers. Brummel splicing requires plaited or single-braid rope and tucks the rope back through itself multiple times creating an eye. Brummel splicing on a bight in the middle of a length of rope yields two legs to form the bridle. If you're unfamiliar with this splice check it out at Brummel Eye Splice | Animated Knots . While this design can use any hook on the market, its strength is equivalent to a single line, similar to the Y Bridle above. It's solid for the weekend boater and, hey, it sure looks nice, too.

Two Snubbers in Tandem

Deploying two snubbers in tandem extends all the benefits of a bridle - superior strength and full redundancy across all components: rope, shackle and hook. This assumes the snubbers are made with hard eyes, and the rope, shackle and hook are appropriately and similarly rated. Deploy one leg as a snubber and when the wind pipes up or the motion becomes uncomfortable, add the other snubber and enjoy the benefits of a bridle. This method works well with eye-grab hooks and hitches when attached to consecutive links. Unfortunately, most other hooks would have to be spaced too far apart, rendering this method mostly ineffective.

Storm Bridles

When you consider the kinetic energy of a boat squares with an increase in boat speed of one knot, you understand the load a snubber or bridle is subjected to in a gale. While not having personally experienced winds greater than 50 knots at anchor or a bridle failure, I've heard from readers on how their bridles failed. Here are some design considerations for a storm bridle:

  • Don't use a snubber - a bridle is the better option; think redundancy.
  • If you are a seasonal, fair-weather, weekend sailor and planning to purchase a bridle, don't buy a storm bridle for everyday use. Right-sizing for the conditions typically experienced is the better approach or you lose the benefits a bridle provides.
  • If you are a part or full-time cruiser, or someone who is likely to get caught in foul weather with some regularity (fair-weather sailor living in the higher lattitudes), consider purchasing an everyday bridle AND a storm bridle.
  • Lines should be sized up in diameter and length - many cruisers state their storm bridles are 25% longer than their boats.
  • Buy rope from a reputable manufacturer and check its Working Load Limit (10% - 20% of tensile strength; we use 12%). If it's made to the Cordage Institute's standards, all the better.
  • Hardware should be sized up AND upgraded. Shackles should be forged and sized for the increased load
  • Load rated hooks that cradle the chain link are recommended
  • Heavy-duty thimbles are an imperative. Heavy-duty captive or closed thimbles are best. If an open thimble is used, seizing must be done just above the thimble's apron (e.g. near prongs at the opening of the thimble)
  • Seizing should also be done on the rope splice immediately below the thimble's apron. Yes, you read that correctly, seizing the rope to the thimble directly above the thimble's apron, and again on the rope splice immediately below the apron.
  • Seizing should be done with 1.5mm or larger whipping thread or sailmaker's thread (at 48°North, we use #7 sailmaker's thread) and should be tied off multiple times through the course of seizing for redundancy. Why all the extra seizing? Under extreme loads, the rope stretches and the thimble can fall out or turn in the eye causing the prongs to cut into the line.

We've been writing about the chain end but what about the boat end? Some manufacturers add soft eyes while others leave the ends untreated. Bridles for catamarans frequently have hard eyes spliced into them for shackling to bow eyes. Sailors are never short on opinions but I haven't heard an argument strong enough to sway me out of the "it's purely personal preference" camp. Interjections:

  • Soft eyes can be convenient and encourage a full deployment, but I rarely deploy all 50' of our bridle. For me, the soft eyes might be used half-a-dozen times in the 50 - 75 nights we're out each year. Further, what happens when you're head-to-wind and you're broached by swell or current? You venture out in your PJ's, pull in one bridle leg until the motion improves, cleat hitch it, take a gander at the stars and go back to bed. For others, perhaps they have a Samson post, or use a shorter bridle that is always fully deployed and have the ability to stow the bridle on deck; soft eyes would be ideal. If you request soft eyes, you should consider having anti-chafe spliced into them. Finally, if you like the inexpensive tubular anti-chafe, you can't replace it without unsplicing the eye - you have to upgrade to the fancy velcro stuff or re-splice the end.
  • A naked bitter end is my personal favorite - melt, treat and whip the end - life is good. Inexpensive tubular anti-chafe is easily added or replaced, and can be adjusted to wrap the cleat hitch, the lines as the pass through chocks or hawses, or to cover the bow roller for snubbers. Naked ends are less expensive all the way around.
  • Hard eyes are commonly used with catamarans and smaller monohulls where they attach directly to bow eyes with shackles. This configuration encourages full deployments (important on catamarans; see our Catamaran Bridle page for details), eliminates chafing and makes deployment easy. It also allows adjustments for motion by retrieving line on one side and cleating it. Whether or not anti-chafe should be added to the line probably depends on how frequently you make motion adjustments.

Regarding soft eyes and untreated ends, there's no wrong decision. If, in the end, you feel like you've made the wrong decision, it's easily remedied with a YouTube video and a fid.

The Rundown: An All Encompassing Look at the New NRS Slipstream Raft

Welcome to: “The Rundown”. In our newest editorial series, we’ll provide an all-encompassing look at the latest and greatest products from your favorite brands in the fly fishing and outdoor space. Here, we’ll run over high-level info, tech specs, and our opinions – all paired with a behind-the-scenes interview with product designers who have poured their hearts into bringing these creations from blueprints to the showroom floor.

In this Rundown, we’ll look at the newest release from Idaho-based fishing and whitewater vessel company, NRS , to bring you an all-encompassing look at their latest release: The “Slipstream” Fishing Raft .

Background:

If you’re floating down any river West of the Mississippi, on any given warm and sunny day, there’s a good chance you’ll be seeing an NRS raft making its way down current as well. These iconic watercrafts have been a staple to the angling community, as well as the white water community for decades now.

fishing in a raft

Based out of Moscow, Idaho; NRS or NorthWest River Supplies,  has been manufacturing watercrafts and other river-sport necessities (such as apparel, Life jackets, technical gear, and much more), since 1972. In 2014, following NRS founder, Bill Parks’ retirement, the company became 100% employee-owned. This is a rarity in our modern, fast-paced economy, and is an approach that sets NRS apart from any other river-product manufacturer out there.

Over the course of the last few years, NRS has heard an increased amount of demand from the angling community for more fishing-focused products and has taken the feedback in stride. With the release of everything from fishing appare l and outerwear, to new fishing-conscious PFDs and Kyaks, NRS has been dumping time, money, and resources into meeting the needs of the rapidly expanding conventional, and fly fishing communities.

It’s a culmination of these efforts which have led to the birth of what we’re talking about today; the NRS Slipstream Fishing Raft . Or as we see it, A fishing raft like no other.

nrs raft

What’s New: 

When it comes to the Slipstream Fishing Raft , there are a ton of new features that have been put in to accommodate angling needs. Below, we’ll highlight which ones we think are most notable, and why:

  • (From NRS ): “Slipstream rafts feature a streamlined design with deliberately placed d-rings, handles, and valves to reduce weight and eliminate catch points.”

One of the most annoying things that anglers experience when fishing out of a raft (or any boat/ vessel/ scenario), is line getting caught on things. Anyone who has ever fly-fished understands that fly-line was designed by the devil, and serves the sole purpose of getting wrapped around, tangled in, or caught up on anything that it can – including itself. With older raft models, things like casting platforms, protruding frames, and D-rings are the most common culprits when it comes to eating fly line. This is not only super frustrating to deal with when fishing, but can also severely damage your fly line. Which, we all know is pretty expensive.

The beauty of the Slipstream is that it was made with that issue in mind, and eliminated as many rings, valves, and other hazards for your line to get caught around. Most notably, the casting platforms.

  • “4” drop-stitch floor provides a super stable platform, eliminating the need for casting platforms. Insert is protected inside a zippered PVC pocket.”

Speaking of the loss of casting platforms, we believe the drop-stitch floor is the key element that sets this raft apart from the rest…

trimaran anchor bridle

With this new design, gone are the days of dancing around/balancing on elevated plastic floors while trying to fish. The new, 4″ drop-stitch floor runs level from the front of the boat to the back, providing a single, sturdy floor for all anglers and the rower to share. This doesn’t only greatly improve the front and rear angler’s experience, but also provides a sturdy and flat floor for gear storage, such as coolers, fly boxes, dry boxes, and whatever else you want on your boat.

Additionally, the floor is lined with an EVA foam pad which provides great traction, even when wet. It also features an additional valve, located conveniently underneath the rower’s seat, which can be inflated or deflated independently from the rest of the raft, at any time.

  • “[Includes] Fishing Rod Holder to stow (2) 9′ rods”

One extra item that is provided in the Deluxe package, which we think is definitely worth mentioning, is the aluminum rod holder which can be attached to either side of the frame. We know from first-hand experience, the easiest place to break a rod, is in a crowded raft. In the chaos of fishing, or even just entering and exiting the raft, a slight misstep can result in $1000+ down the drain, or at least an inconvenient Saturday spent mailing your precious fly rod back to the manufacturer for repair. Neither option is very fun – but it’s something we’re all super familiar with.

This rod holder is made to line the outside of the frame, and conveniently stores your party’s fly rods in a way they’re easily accessible, and also out of harm’s way.

trimaran anchor bridle

  • “The frame includes an internally routed anchor system that’s controlled from the rower’s seat…”

The last insanely cool feature we want to make sure to talk about is the new Slipstream Fishing Raft’s internal anchor system. With almost every other fishing raft, the anchor rope lines the side of the raft and is exposed. This can lead to the rear angler getting tangled with the anchor rope, things getting caught in it, and unnecessary weathering from exposure to the elements.

With the Slipstream fishing raft, however, the anchor rope runs from the sidebar beside the rower’s seat, through the actual raft frame, and out of the frame in the back to the anchor. This creates just one more element of streamlined engineering that keeps unnecessary obstacles out of the way of the raft’s users.

Our experience:

In the Spring of 2021, we were privileged enough to receive one of the first prototypes of the NRS Slipstream Fishing Raft to test out on our home waters. Since then, this raft has been dragged over rocks, sent through white water, bounced off of trees, caught by hundreds of hooks, left out in the sun, rain, and snow – and has yet to give us a single reason not to love it.

trimaran anchor bridle

It’s important when reviewing a product to point out the shortcomings as well as what we like, but we’ve had a lot of difficulty doing so. This raft is an amazing size for running medium to large rivers but is versatile enough to be used on small rivers, and even stillwater. With its streamlined construction and drop-stitch floor, our angling experience has been greatly enhanced, and we’ve spent so much more time fishing, and so much less time trying to untangle the line.

All this being said, we are even baffled by the price. You can buy the raft’s “Deluxe Package”, which features all the contents above, for all under $6k. In our opinion, that’s pretty unbelievable.

We don’t want to give away too much more, here. But, stay tuned for our Full Gear Review on the NRS Slipstream Fishing Raft which will be coming soon.

An interview with NRS Fishing Manager: Mike Dolmage

In our final portion of “The Rundown” we had a chance to ask NRS Fishing Manager, and someone who has been working on the slipstream since it was just words on paper: Mike Dolmage. Here’s what he had to say about his experience in the Slipstream’s design process:

Flylords: Who are you and what is your position at NRS ?

Mike: I’m the NRS Fishing Category Manager and Hardgoods Product Manager. I’ve been a passionate fly angler for over 30 years, living life in search of the next cast. Fall and winter seasons you’ll find me swinging Pacific Northwest waters for steelhead and in search the rest of the year for new adventures on the fly. When not on the water, I’m involved with the preservation and conservation of our waters and resources as anglers.

Flylords: What was your role in bringing the NRS Slipstream Fishing Raft to life? 

Mike: My role was creating the vision for a complete NRS Fishing raft package. I conducted extensive research to identify the key features that anglers and rowers demand on a  fishing watercraft. We were focused on providing ultimate stealth fishing watercrafts for the adventure angler seeking remote fishing areas off the beaten path, and on keeping the angler focused on fishing without concerns of stability, line snags, or whitewater performance. Based upon the feedback we created conceptual CAD for the fishing raft package, and collaborated with our frame shop to make the Slipstream series of fishing rafts a reality. The Slipstream series of fishing rafts were successfully launched in 2022, and the Slipstream 120 won the 2022 IFTD Best Of Show Boat/Personal Watercraft. I’ve continued to travel all over North America and introduce the adventure possibilities of the Slipstreams.

Flylords: From start to finish, where did the Slipstream see the biggest challenges? 

Mike: The biggest challenge of the Slipstreams has been navigating the supply chain hurdles that continue to impact manufacturers and factories since Covid. Keeping up with the demand has been an awesome and difficult task at the same time. We work tirelessly to keep Slipstreams rolling out to customers.

trimaran anchor bridle

Flylords: What was the initial thought process behind the Slipstream? What role was it made to fit?

Mike: The initial thought process behind the Slipstreams was to utilize NRS’s 50-year whitewater river heritage, and provide watercrafts that allow anglers to explore waters they haven’t considered before. We keep the adventure angler at the core of our product inspiration empowering them to take any journey the imagination can think of. The Slipstreams were designed to handle any type of water, and lightweight enough to transport/launch without a trailer or boat ramp.

trimaran anchor bridle

Flylords: What kind of angler would you say each Slipstream model is built for?

Mike: The Slipstream 139 – designed for big water multi-day adventures or single-day outings with maximum cargo space and room for two anglers and a rower.

Slipstream 120 – designed for ultimate water versatility on multi-day or single-day journeys that require whitewater or tight skinny stream stealth performance with a rower and up to two anglers.

Slipstream 96 – designed to pack the most performance and transportability into a watercraft for a rower and angler. The Slipstream 96 is lightweight and easy enough to transport rooftop or in the bed of a pickup.

trimaran anchor bridle

Flylords: What are some of your personal favorite features of the Slipstream?

Mike: The internal anchor system running through the raft framework and out the center of the stern provides an anchor system without any exposed rope.

The drop-stitch floor with EVA texture provides a rock-solid lightweight platform for standing without the risk of slipping.

The Deluxe Slipstream packages offer a dual rod holder that allows the angler to keep extra rods rigged up for changing conditions on the water.

trimaran anchor bridle

Flylords: How do you think the design of the slipstream will affect the way that NRS and other raft manufacturers will design their rafts moving forward?

Mike: The Slipstreams set the bar for future fishing watercrafts to be ultra-transportable but still capable of whitewater environments.  We’ve transported Slipstreams for fishing adventures in anything from vehicles to helicopters and planes. The Slipstreams are an example of empowering anglers to reimagine a new horizon for adventures.

Provided That vs. On Condition That

by Manjusha Nambiar · March 24, 2020

Provided that can be used as a conjunction. It is used to introduce a condition. It means something will happen only if another thing also happens.

  • You can borrow my car, provided that you drive it carefully.
  • You can watch TV provided that you finish your homework first.
  • I will go provided that she invites me.
  • I will take you there, provided that you pay me.
  • You may go out provided that you are back by ten o’clock.

In clauses introduced by provided that , we use a present tense to refer to the future.

  • I will accept the job provided that they offer me a good salary. (NOT I will accept the job provided that they will offer me a good salary.)

Usually, the same idea can be expressed using if or on condition that.

  • You can watch TV on condition that you finish your homework first.
  • If you finish your homework first, you can watch TV.
  • If she invites me I will go.
  • If you pay me, I will take you there. OR I will take you there on condition that you pay me.
  • If they offer me a good salary, I will accept the job.

When do we use the first conditional?

We use the first conditional to talk about results of possible future conditions. Here are some example sentences:

  • If it’s sunny tomorrow, I’ll go to the beach.
  • If it rains tomorrow, I’ll stay home.
  • If she studies hard, she will pass the exam.
  • If you finish your chores, you can watch TV.
  • If we don’t get to the airport on time, we’ll miss our flight.
  • If he doesn’t call me soon, I’ll send him a text message.
  • If you save money, you’ll be able to afford that new phone.
  • If the restaurant isn’t too crowded, we’ll have dinner there tonight.

Parts of a first conditional sentence

There are two parts to a first conditional sentence:

  • the condition (sometimes called the “if clause”)
  • the result  (sometimes called the “main clause”)
If you study this weekend, you’ll pass the test on Monday.
If you don’t study, you’ll fail.
If I wake up early enough tomorrow, I’m going to make a big breakfast.
If we don’t save money this year, we won’t be able to buy Christmas presents.

It is possible to reverse the condition and the result, with no change in meaning:

  • If you don’t study, you’ll fail.
  • = You’ll fail if you don’t study.
  • If I wake up early enough tomorrow, I’m going to make a big breakfast.
  • = I’m going to make a big breakfast if I wake up early enough tomorrow.

Note that when the “if clause” (condition) comes first in the sentence, we use a comma after it. However, when the result comes first in the sentence, then we don’t use a comma between the two clauses.

First conditional sentences have a condition and result

How to form the first conditional

Pay close attention to the correct verb forms in the condition and result:

CONDITION:  if + subject + present simple

  • If we go to the party tomorrow,
  • If you don’t leave work soon,
  • If she gets promoted,
  • If he doesn’t read the textbook,

RESULT:  subject + simple future (will / won’t, going to / not going to)

  • we’ll have a good time.
  • you’ll get stuck in rush hour traffic.
  • she’s going to earn more money.
  • he won’t understand the class.

Even though BOTH events are in the future, we always use the simple present  in the condition (“if-clause”).

Avoid the common error of using the simple future in the condition:

  • If we will go to the party tomorrow, we’ll have a good time.
  • If we  go  to the party tomorrow, we’ll have a good time.
  • If it won’t rain tonight, I’ll go for a walk.
  • If it doesn’t rain tonight, I’ll go for a walk.

First conditional: which verb tenses to use in the condition and result

Both the condition and the result can be positive or negative (with “not”):

  • If you take the train, you ‘ll get there faster. (positive condition – positive result)
  • If you don’t take the train, you ‘ll have to drive. (negative condition – positive result)
  • If you take the train, you won’t get stuck in traffic. (positive condition – negative result)
  • If you don’t take the train, you won’t need to buy a train ticket. (negative condition – negative result)

First Conditional Quiz

Variations in first conditional sentences

Alternative words to “if” in the condition.

It is possible to use other words instead of  if  in the “condition” part of first conditional sentences:

When the “condition” will definitely happen. I die, I’ll leave all my money to charity.
To emphasize immediacy This situation is very urgent. I’ll call you I have more information.
In place of “if not” You’ll fail the test you study.
= You’ll fail the test you study.

Let’s study each case separately.

WHEN: When the “condition” will definitely happen in the future.

Look at the difference between these two sentences:

  • If I see Sam, I’ll give him your message. (I’m not sure if I will see him or not)
  • When I see Sam, I’ll give him your message. (I will definitely see Sam)

AS SOON AS: To emphasize immediacy.

  • My feet hurt! As soon as I get home, I’m going to take off these high heels.
  • As soon as we have enough money saved, we’ll take a vacation to Costa Rica. We can’t wait!
  • I’ll respond to your e-mail as soon as I can.

UNLESS: Substitute for “if not.”

  • You won’t lose any weight unless you start eating healthier food. = You won’t lose any weight if  you  don’t start eating healthier food.
  • I’m not going to dance unless somebody invites me. = I’m not going to dance if somebody doesn’t invite me.
  • Unless there’s an emergency at work, I’ll be home on time. = If there’s not an emergency at work, I’ll be home on time.

Variations on first conditional sentences

Alternative words to will / going to in the result

Instead of will / going to, we can use modal verbs like can, might, could, or  should . Compare these two sentences:

  • If you go out in the rain, you  will  get wet. (100% certain)
  • If you apply for that university, you might/could be accepted. (not 100% certain)

Use  can  in the result of first conditional sentences to give permission / prohibition:

  • If you finish your homework, you can watch TV for an hour.
  • If you don’t have a ticket, you can’t get into the theater.

Use might/ could  to express a possibility that is not a certainty:

  • If he gets home from work early, we could go for a walk before dinner.
  • If you try to lift that heavy weight, you  might  hurt yourself.

Use  should  to give advice if the condition happens:

  • If your toothache doesn’t get better soon, you should  see a dentist.
  • If they go to New York next week, they  should visit the Statue of Liberty.

First Conditional vs. Other Conditionals

First conditional vs. zero conditional.

The zero conditional describes GENERAL truths and facts. Both the condition and result are in the simple present:

  • When it rains, the ground gets wet. (it is a general fact/truth)
  • If I’m late to school, the teacher always yells at me. (this ALWAYS happens)

The first conditional describes a specific event that will/might happen in the future IF a future condition happens. The condition is in the simple present tense, and the result is in the simple future tense:

  • If it rains tomorrow, I’m going to stay home.
  • If I’m late to school today, I’ll miss an important test.

First Conditional vs. Second Conditional and Third Conditional

Both the second conditional and third conditional describe IMAGINARY situations.

In the second conditional , we are imagining the result if the present were different:

  • If I were a millionaire, I would buy a sports car. (but the reality is that I AM NOT a millionaire, so I’m not buying that car)

In the third conditional, we are imagining the result if the past had been different:

  • If I had taken the earlier train, I would have gotten to work on time. (but the reality is that I DID NOT take the earlier train, so I did not get to work on time)

The first conditional describes REAL future results/possibilities that will happen if the condition happens. Compare these conditional sentences:

  • First conditional: If I have some free time this weekend, I will read a book. (it’s a real possibility that I’ll have some free time and read a book)
  • Second conditional:  If I had more free time, I would take dance classes. (this is just imaginary – the reality is that I don’t have much free time, so I’m not taking dance classes)
  • Third conditional:  If I ‘d had more free time yesterday, I would have cleaned the house. (imaginary – the reality is that I didn’t have free time yesterday, so I didn’t clean the house)

Subordinate Conjunctions

One type of connectives in English grammar is subordinate conjunctions . It expresses a variety of relationships between the two clauses. For example, “after” shows a temporal relationship, while “because” indicates a cause-and-effect relationship. This grammar component is essential for expressing complex ideas in English. They allow us to combine several thoughts into one sentence, which makes our writing more concise and coherent.

In this blog, we will discuss the different subordinate conjunctions and how they are used in English, learn the common mistakes and how to avoid them, and test your understanding of the topic.

What is a Subordinate Conjunction?

Subordinate conjunctions are words that join two clauses together to form a complex sentence . They introduce subordinate or dependent clauses, which provide additional information to the independent clause. Examples of subordinate conjunctions include: after, although, as, because, before, if, since, so that, though, unless, until, and when.

Here are a few examples of sentences using subordinate conjunctions:

1. After I finished my homework, I went to the mall.

2. We decided to go for a walk although it was raining,

3. As soon as he arrived, he started cooking dinner.

4. She decided to take a nap because she was tired,

5. She locked all the windows and doors before leaving the house.

What is a complex sentence?

There are four types of sentences according to structures: simple sentence, compound sentence, complex sentence, and compound-complex sentence. Complex sentences contain one independent clause and at least one subordinate clause (or dependent clause) to form a complete sentence. Subordinate conjunctions are essential in the structure of complex sentences as it signals the start of a dependent clause.

The table below explains the two parts of a complex sentence:

→ a grammatical structure with a subject-verb unit that has a complete meaning and can stand on its own– Our school suspended classes.

– The seller won’t refund the purchase.

– I will let you borrow money.
→ a grammatical structure without a subject-verb unit that cannot stand on its own and relies on an independent clause to complete its meaning– Because of the storm.

– If it’s not broken.

– After you pay your previous dues.
– Our school suspended classes of the storm.
 
– The seller won’t refund the purchase it’s not broken.

– I will let you borrow money you pay your previous dues.

Subordinate Conjunctions Rules

Subordinate conjunctions connect two related ideas or clauses that would otherwise not make sense without them. One pitfall when using them is being unfamiliar with their meaning and function. It leads to mistaking one subordinate conjunction with the other and changing the intended message of your statement or committing a grammatical mistake.

The table below explains the function of the different groups of subordinating conjunction:

→ provides a temporal relationship between the independent and dependent clause; it answers the question ‘when’after, as soon as, as long as, before, once, still, until, when, whenever, and while– I will go you.

– Gail leaves the room, I will clean it and arrange the books. – He waited for you midnight.
→ provides context for comparisonjust as, though, whereas, in contrast to, and while– They mourned his death they had done for his father.

– he was tired, he still went to the gym.

– I prefer to stay at home, my brother likes going out.
→ provides a context between an event and obstacles in the way preventing it to occuralthough, as though, and even though– She cooked dinner for everyone she was tired.

– Frank loved going fishing, sometimes he would end up catching nothing at all.

– They introduced him to the family he did not already know him.
→ provides a context in the result of something or why a change happenedas, because, since, and so that– He quickly ran he was late for his meeting.

– The doctor rushed to the emergency room a patient was in critical condition.

– I studied hard I could get a good grade on the test.
→ provides a context of when an event will happen; it gives rules to be fulfilled for an action to take placeonce, only if, even if, if, in case, provided that, and unless– You can go out tonight, that you finish your homework first.

– We can watch the movie we have enough time.

– you promise to be careful can you borrow my car.
→ provides context as to where actions might occur; these might unspecified places (e.g., wherever you go, where the sea meets the land)where, wherever, everywhere, anywhere– He went hiking the group had gone before.

– We can go you want to go.

– She looked for him on the camping grounds.

Comma Usage of Subordinate Conjunctions

Subordinate conjunctions are words that introduce a subordinate clause and are often used to join two independent clauses together. When using subordinate conjunctions, it is important to remember to use commas correctly in order to avoid run-on sentences or confusion between the two parts of the sentence.

Here are the correct comma placement rules for subordinate conjunctions:

  • If a sentence starts with a subordinate clause, separate it from the independent clause using a comma.
  • Once you finish your project, we will go watch a movie.
  • While Jenna is crocheting, Ashley is watching TV.
  • In contrast to glasses of wine, beer is cheaper.

An exception to this rule is the condition conjunction ‘only if.’

  • Only if Chary apologizes that I will forgive him.
  • Only if the day is sunny will we go to the beach.
  • Only if the management approves the plan will it be implemented.
  • If a sentence starts with an independent clause and is followed by a subordinate clause, no comma is needed.
  • The project launch will commence once the chairman arrives.
  • Our situation would remain the same unless we take action.
  • We had to create a new strategy because the old one was not working.

An exception to this rule is the concession conjunction ‘although.’

  • It ended up being sunny, although the forecast predicted snow.
  • The painters were able to finish the project, although it was difficult.
  • We went to the beach, although it was a bit chilly.

Examples of Subordinate Conjunctions

Here are ten examples of sentences using subordinate conjunctions:

  • The drunk driver was arrested after he crashed into the store.
  • We can’t leave until everyone is ready.
  • Rather than going to the movies, we decided to visit my grandmother.
  • She was excited when she heard the news about the scholarship.
  • I will help you unless you don’t want me to.
  • Wherever you go, I will be here waiting for you.
  • I will buy the tickets provided that I have enough money.
  • Although he offered to help, I decided to do it myself.
  • Once you finish your assignment, you can play video games.
  • We can’t start the construction until we get approval from the government.

Advice for ESL Students & English Language Learners

English grammar, like any language, is a complex subject to study. Understanding and applying grammar rules can be challenging, especially for English language learners. However, your success in learning the language is dependent on your learning plan.

First, know that there are different levels of language proficiency. Knowing your status allows you to align it with your study materials and learning strategy. To keep your motivation, select beginner-friendly materials instead of university textbooks when starting. In doing so, you will feel less intimidated by the topics you should learn.

Second, focus on the basics: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Learn how to use them correctly in sentences and understand their meaning. It will help you build a strong foundation for your English language learning journey. Divide those topics into subtopics and learn each concept and rule one by one.

Third, find a reliable source of learning materials. Online resources such as websites, blogs, and YouTube videos are mostly free. LillyPad’s blog, for example, is a great resource for English language learning materials. Additionally, you can find books and other printed materials in your local library or bookstore.

Fourth, practice speaking the language with native speakers or other English learners. It will help you understand how to use the language correctly in conversations and improve your pronunciation.

Finally, be patient with yourself and don’t give up. Learning a language takes time and effort, so set realistic goals and celebrate your achievements along the way.

Additionally, it is important for learners to properly understand correlative conjunctions and coordinate conjunctions .

Common Mistakes Made by English Learners

Learning a new language can be difficult, and English is no exception. Even experienced English learners make mistakes when speaking or writing in the language. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by English learners:

Writing sentence fragments when using subordinate conjunctionsLearners sometimes forget that subordinate conjunctions signal a dependent clause that cannot stand on its own to form a complete sentence.While it is acceptable to begin a sentence with subordinate conjunctions, ensure that a complete sentence or independent clause follows a sentence fragment. Although it was disturbing.

When he cried.

While sleeping.

He ignored what happened, although it was disturbing.

The mother hugged kid when the he cried.

She tends to talk while sleeping.
Mismatched verb tense or faulty tense sequence in the two clausesTense switching is one of the most common grammatical mistakes learners commit. This mistake happens when learners forget to use the same verb tense in both clauses.Observe the verb tense used in the first clause and ensure to apply the same tense in the second clause. Priyanka doing yoga Saab painting a flower.

he a business owner, he as an accountant at the local bank.

They her it her fault that the machine broke.

he a business owner, he as an accountant at the local bank.

They her it her fault that the machine broke.

Learning Strategies and Best Practices for Subordinate Conjunctions

A holistic approach to learning a language makes it easier to understand and remember. The five macro skills, reading, listening, viewing, speaking, and writing, should be developed and used in the learning process for better language acquisition. The table below lists activities you can do when learning linking verbs:

– Use flashcards to know basic English sight words and their meaning.
– Search for material that contains translations of common expressions from your native language to English.
– Select study materials appropriate for your language proficiency.
– Listen to an audiobook or a song and write what you hear to improve your retention of English words.
– Compare and contrast two audio materials like TV ads and a speech.
– Summarize a podcast, movie, audiobook, and other English audio materials.
– Observe how native speakers speak and try to mimic it.
– Watch English movies, interviews, and tutorials.
– Use pictographs to learn and remember new words.
– Join a community of English language learners and communicate with them to improve and gain feedback.
– Integrate the language into your daily life and try to speak using English.
– Participate in speech organizations (e.g. debate clubs, theatre groups)
– Write a journal of your learning journey in English.
– Answer practice tests and create your own sentences.
– Create a reflection essay on the media you watch or listen to.

Subordinate Conjunctions Frequently Asked Questions

Subordinating conjunctions link two clauses— an independent and a dependent clause, with the latter being unable to stand on its own as it lacks a complete meaning. Hence, avoid creating sentence fragments and using them without an independent clause. For example, “Allie was late because she missed the bus.” In this sentence, “because” is the subordinating conjunction that connects the two clauses.

A subordinate clause is constructed by combining a subordinating conjunction with an independent clause. The subordinating conjunction signals a dependent and shows the relationship with the independent clause. For example, “Although Allie was late, she still managed to catch up.” In this sentence, “although” is the subordinating conjunction that introduces the subordinate clause and shows concession.

The coordinating conjunctions link two independent clauses or two grammatical structures of equal weight together. They indicate that the two clauses have equal importance and can stand alone as a sentence. Subordinating conjunctions, on the other hand, combines a subordinate clause that cannot stand on its own with an independent clause. The subordinate clause is dependent on the main clause and cannot stand alone as a sentence.

Here are five sentences with subordinate conjunction:

1. Victoria decided to move out because she wanted more independence. 2. Many guests keep on coming back, although the hotel is quite old. 3. Since it was raining, we decided to stay at home. 4.

How to Finish Your Homework

While studying can differ for different age groups, many of the things that get in the way are the same. Whether it's your environment or time management skills, it easy for things to discourage you from finishing your homework. With a little organization and help, your homework can become approachable.

Managing Your Time

Step 1 Set aside a specific time to do your homework.

  • For instance, try setting aside a time you know you can work well such as an hour or 2 before dinner, or if you're a night owl, after dinner.

Step 2 Take a break every hour.

  • Work in hour blocks, with 50 minutes spent studying and 10 minutes spent taking a break.
  • It can also be helpful to move around when you are taking your break, especially if you are working at a screen. Go for a walk outside to get your blood circulating and enjoy some fresh air.
  • You might also want to eat a healthy snack on your break to improve your focus. Avoid junk food and choose something like a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, veggies, or a small portion of cottage cheese.

Step 3 Prioritize tasks.

  • Identify which assignments are worth the most points for each class. Most likely these will take the longest to complete. [5] X Research source
  • Consider how long you have to do each project, and if possible, see when the assignment is introduced. Oftentimes, primary and secondary school classes do not have syllabi, so it might be harder to plan out an entire term, but if you are in college, you will most likely have a syllabus with at least a partial course schedule. Knowing how long you have to complete an assignment will help you prioritize which assignments to do first. You can also ask the teacher how long you have to complete an assignment. [6] X Research source

Step 4 Create a study schedule.

  • Use highlighters or stickers to mark which assignments are most important.
  • If you're using an online or mobile schedule, create alerts or notifications for the projects and any time-sensitive steps for those projects.

Step 5 Make sure to complete the most pressing assignments first.

  • Don't let a big project overshadow the smaller assignments you need to complete!

Step 6 Break down larger projects into manageable tasks.

  • Assignment outlines can help you visualize the necessary tasks to get the assignment done.

Step 7 Don't multitask.

Creating a Productive Work Environment

Step 1 Find a comfortable, but not too comfortable, place to work.

  • A desk or table would be a better location than a couch or a bed.

Step 2 Minimize social distractions.

  • Turn your phone off or on silent (not vibrate). It might be best to put the phone out of sight, or in another room while you work, as the temptation to text or get on social media can be as much of a distraction as actually using social media.
  • Use an app that blocks social media. There are plenty of applications out there that can help block social media and other distracting sites (such as shopping or gaming sites). [10] X Trustworthy Source Pew Research Center Nonpartisan thinktank conducting research and providing information on public opinion, demographic trends, and social trends Go to source

Step 3 Minimize noise.

  • Use a white noise app to block out noise.
  • Use earplugs or noise-blocking earmuffs. [12] X Research source
  • Work in a quiet place, such as a library or a home office, if you have one.
  • Avoid listening to music while studying. Studies have shown that although listening to music while studying lowers overall performance, this does not affect everyone equally. [13] X Research source However listening to music before studying has been shown to improve performance on cognitive tasks. [14] X Research source

Step 4 Write down why you need to finish your homework.

Using Your Resources

Step 1 Ask your parents or peers for help.

  • If you're too afraid to ask a teacher during class, see if you can stay behind to ask your questions.

Step 3 Find a tutor (if available).

  • First, contact your school to see if there are any after-school tutoring programs. While not all primary and secondary schools offer tutoring, a vast majority of universities do. If your school does not offer tutoring, they may know of other resources for you to contact.
  • Then, contact your library to see if they offer any tutoring. [18] X Research source
  • In some areas, there may also be free community tutoring programs. Contact your local community center for more information.
  • There are plenty of private tutors out there as well, but they can be costly (ranging from $20 to $100 an hour). [19] X Research source You can find tutors online through a number of websites, such as Craigslist or Angie's list.

Step 4 Go to the library.

  • If you need to work at a library after school, ask your parents or search the web to find your local library.

How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles 

Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time. 

The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. That’s why we’ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where you’re struggling. 

Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers! 

1. You’ve just been assigned an essay in your English class that’s due at the end of the week. What’s the first thing you do?

A. Keep it in mind, even though you won’t start it until the day before it’s due  B. Open up your planner. You’ve got to figure out when you’ll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sister’s dance recital this week, too.  C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one!  D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project that’s due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now. 

2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. You’ve just gotten home from school. You decide you’ll tackle your chores: 

A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start?  B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store.  C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work.  D. You won’t get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time! 

3. You’ve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You: 

A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter.  B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot you’d already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrow’s bake sale.  C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. You’re passionate about animals, so you’re excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldn’t help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!

4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide you’re going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You: 

A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means you’re not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home!  B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember you’re supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you!  C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though you’ve got SAT studying to do. It’s just more fun to watch people make scones.  D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because you’re reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.

5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because you’ve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you what’s wrong, you say: 

A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work.  B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks.  C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just can’t seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home.  D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadn’t gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in. 

Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Here’s how your answers break down: 

  • If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination. 
  • If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management. 
  • If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation. 
  • If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted. 

Now that you’ve identified why you’re having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it. 

And one more thing: you’re really struggling with homework, it’s a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating. 

body-procrastination-meme

How to Do Homework When You’re a Procrastinator  

Merriam Webster defines “procrastinate” as “to put off intentionally and habitually.” In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, you’ve experienced the effects of procrastination. 

If you’re a chronic procrastinator, you’re in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+. 

Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too! 

The big thing to understand about procrastination is that it’s not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being “disinclined to activity or exertion.” In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators don’t put things off because they don’t want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they don’t want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as it’s not their homework! 

3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination 

Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time. 

#1: Create a Reward System

Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isn’t enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done. 

Here’s what we mean: let’s say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day it’s due, you’ll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, you’ll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust. 

If you’re not into cupcakes, don’t worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe it’s hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as you’re choosing something that makes homework worth doing, you’ll be successful. 

#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner 

If you’re having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that you’re trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if they’d be willing to text you to make sure you’re doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if you’re meeting your anti-procrastination goals. 

Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, let’s say you’re tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before it’s due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you don’t want to fess up that you haven’t started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track. 

#3: Create Your Own Due Dates 

If you’re a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just can’t seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due. 

Here’s what we mean. Let’s say you have a math worksheet that’s been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the “last minute” is a day before the assignment’s real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead! 

body-busy-meme-2

If you feel like Kevin Hart in this meme, then our tips for doing homework when you're busy are for you. 

How to Do Homework When You’re too Busy

If you’re aiming to go to a top-tier college , you’re going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, it’s important that you’re maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix. 

If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions at once, you’re not alone. Recent research has found that stress—and more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression— are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students’ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them. 

For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible. 

3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule

While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure you’re able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students. 

#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List 

You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away. 

Here’s how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, it’s time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Here’s what those labels mean:

  • A Tasks : tasks that have to get done—like showing up at work or turning in an assignment—get an A. 
  • B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but aren’t as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. It’s still important, but it doesn’t have to be done right away.
  • C Tasks: these are tasks that aren’t very important and/or have no real consequences if you don’t get them done immediately. For instance, if you’re hoping to clean out your closet but it’s not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.

Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that you’re spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), you’ll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important. 

#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels

Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if you’re not using a planner, it’s time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If you’re using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.

A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day. 

Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . We’re big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ). 

#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone 

If you need a little extra nudge to make sure you’re getting your homework done on time, it’s a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You don’t need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if you’ve decided you’re doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work. 

If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when it’s time to get started. 

body-unmotivated-meme

This dog isn't judging your lack of motivation...but your teacher might. Keep reading for tips to help you motivate yourself to do your homework.

How to Do Homework When You’re Unmotivated 

At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute. 

But there’s one key difference: many procrastinators are working, they’re just prioritizing work differently. They know they’re going to start their homework...they’re just going to do it later. 

Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just can’t find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know they’ll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they don’t want to do in the first place. 

Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework : 

  • Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless 
  • Students aren’t interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
  • Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they don’t understand the assignment 
  • Homework isn’t fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy 

To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.

3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework

The key to getting homework done when you’re unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework. 

#1: Use Incremental Incentives

When you’re not motivated, it’s important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe you’re reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure you’re choosing a reward that works for you! 

So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !  

#2: Form a Homework Group 

If you’re having trouble motivating yourself, it’s okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You don’t have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjects— the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments. 

Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if you’re struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too. 

#3: Change Up Your Environment 

If you find that you’re totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if you’ve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done. 

If you’re stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe you’ve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new “homework spot” in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done. 

body-focus-meme

Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.

How to Do Homework When You’re Easily Distracted

We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like there’s always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.

The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average person’s attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once we’ve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done! 

3 Tips to Improve Your Focus

If you have a hard time focusing when you’re doing your homework, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done. 

#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Pick a place where you’ll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there won’t be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while you’re doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work. 

You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If that’s the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when you’ll be working on homework every day, and ask them if they’ll help you keep a quiet environment. They’ll be happy to lend a hand! 

#2: Limit Your Access to Technology 

We know, we know...this tip isn’t fun, but it does work. For homework that doesn’t require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, it’s best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, that’s fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so you’re not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework. 

If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But it’s not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while you’re working so that you’re not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and don’t open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you don’t need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure you’re getting your homework done. 

#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)

Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? It’s a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!

Here’s how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, it’s called a “pomodoro.” For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once you’ve done that, you’re rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long you’re really working on your homework. (Once you start using our focus tips, you may find it doesn’t take as long as you thought!)

Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast

Even if you’re doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)

The problem with speeding through homework is that it’s easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that you’re not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment! 

Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when you’re in a time crunch. 

#1: Do the Easy Parts First 

This is especially true if you’re working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are “easy” to answer . 

Once you’ve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade. 

(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !) 

#2: Pay Attention in Class 

Homework gets a lot easier when you’re actively learning the material. Teachers aren’t giving you homework because they’re mean or trying to ruin your weekend... it’s because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what you’re already learning in class so you’ll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.

When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, you’re absorbing the information you’ll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (You’re stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.

But, I think you’re among those students who want to finish their homework fast and save time for other work. If I’m right and you’re already looking for how to do homework fast then you’re in right place.

  • Doing your homework fast makes you a fast learner

  • Finishing homework in time makes you a disciplined student

Now, you would have understood why you should finish your homework faster.

However, doing homework fast is not an easy job. You have to go through with a proper strategy and follow all the tips that I’m going to list here…

How to do homework fast?

1. find a good study environment.

A Study place really matters to studying effectively. A good study place can make your mood to study and also you’ll have a better concentration there.

provided you finish your homework first

So, if you want to stay focused and beat procrastination while doing homework fast then first find a good study environment.

A dedicated study room, library, coffee shop, or park can work great for you. Just find where you’re comfortable most and can give your best.

But make sure, the place you find for study should be distraction-free . Even if your phone is not a part of your homework, keep it aside wherever you study.

2. Set your schedule

During the day, besides homework, you may have to do many household works or other things. That’s why some students often forget to do homework or they stop doing their homework in the middle of other work.

provided you finish your homework first

To deal with these situations you have to either make a routine or set your schedule . I agree, that sticking with a routine won’t be easy for you, so why don’t you try to set your schedule?

The better way to set your schedule is to write a note and find the time that you have available for doing homework . Just before sleep or after waking up do it every day, it will keep you on a better schedule and time management.

3. Make a to-do list

A To-do list can be very helpful to finish your homework fast, especially when you have plenty of tasks.

So make a to-do list and write all the homework that you got from your teachers, this way you also won’t forget to complete any subject’s homework.

provided you finish your homework first

A to-do list not only would be interesting to make but, you will also enjoy finishing your homework according to it.

And, whenever you finish any particular homework from the to-do list, make sure you make a cross on it, which will motivate you to move further and finish the remaining homework.

If you have any boring or weak subject then do its homework first then move to an easy subject because when you start your study then your energy level and mood are at peak.

So, put your effort first on that subject that you find hard, and after that, you can easily finish your easy and interesting subject homework.

4. Keep all materials near you

Before doing homework, whatever stationery things or study materials you find useful for your homework, keep them close to you.

These small things really matter when you want to perform an effective study session and do your homework fast.

provided you finish your homework first

For example, if you have homework related to the Geometry subject then first, keep all the geometry tools on your study table, so that you won’t need to break your study in the middle to find any missing tools.

Similarly, whatever the tools, notes, assignments, or anything that you need while doing your homework, keep them near where you study.

5. Make sure you understand the material

Although there is no need to ask still, I want to ask, do you understand the subject or topic well in which you have homework?

If your answer is No , then you’re making a big mistake.

Because when you don’t understand a subject or topic and your concepts are not clear enough, you can be stuck many times while doing homework on that subject, and this way, you can’t do your homework fast.

provided you finish your homework first

If I’m right and you don’t have enough knowledge in any subject then first understand the subject well. Here are some quick ways to understand the subject well before doing its homework:

  • Review and revisit your notes
  • Watch video lectures
  • Focus on visual learning (like images, graphs, diagrams, etc.)
  • Take help from friends

6. Challenge yourself with the time

provided you finish your homework first

Challenging yourself with time is a great way to do something fast. Isn’t it?

When you start doing homework, make a target like, I will finish this subject’s homework in 45 minutes. Similarly, set a period for each subject’s homework and then follow it.

To follow this tip effectively you can use a TIMMER for it . Chances are you’ll fail and you won’t be accurate with the target you’d set but with practice you can make yourself perfect.

provided you finish your homework first

Remember, don’t do all homework at a time instead you should try Pomodoro Technique and take regular breaks.

Taking breaks regularly while doing your homework fast won’t make feel like your homework like a burden because you have divided them into many sessions and coffee breaks.

7. Find a study buddy for homework

Completing your homework with a study buddy, don’t you think it’s a great idea?

provided you finish your homework first

Of course, with a study buddy, you’ll not only enjoy your homework, but you both can finish your homework fast. The biggest benefit of group study is , that you exchange your knowledge and your understanding of the subject with each other.

So, if you have any friend who listens to you, supports your idea, and is good at studying, ask him for studying and doing homework together.

But, be active while studying with your study buddy and if possible then don’t use unnecessarily your phone.

8. Stay focused in classes

Staying focused in cla ss and paying enough attention there , can make your homework much easier to do faster.

Even, in my school days, I used to finish my homework during lunch break, so that I can enjoy my whole day at home without worrying about homework.

provided you finish your homework first

However, you don’t need to finish your homework during lunch breaks instead you can pay attention in class and clear all your doubts.

Whenever you learn something important during your professor’s lecture, make sure you take it in your notes. It will surely help you to do your homework faster.

9. Appreciate your efforts

provided you finish your homework first

Sometimes appreciating yourself can be very important. When there is no one to motivate you and appreciate your work then you should appreciate yourself.

Whenever you complete any of your tasks on time appreciate yourself. But it doesn’t mean, you should celebrate big and splash out money, Instead, you can enjoy an ice cream, a cold drink, or anything that you like.

These small things can bring a smile to your face and motivate you to move forward and keep doing great.

Best Tips on How to Finish Homework Fast

By: Tasha Kolesnikova

Best Tips on How to Finish Homework Fast

An overwhelming 56% of students find homework a primary source of stress with many requirements and strict deadlines imposed. If you're one of these students, we'll give you 7 tips on how to finish your homework assignments fast!

Organize Your Thoughts and Have a Clear Course of Action

Declutter your workstation and unplug from distractions, have proper time management, focus and stay on track, recognize when to take breaks, reward yourself, how to do homework fast: quick study tips for students, know how to finish homework fast, 7 ways to breeze through your homework faster.

Are you a procrastinator with the habit of doing tasks at the last minute? Do you practice piling everything the day before the deadline, ending with you having less time to finish things up? Then the following proven and effective ways to finish your homework are for you.

organize-your-thoughts

Having too many things to do and think about can be overwhelming and can stress you out. You might even end up experiencing sensory overload and subsequently failing to finish anything.

Writing down the things you have to do is an easy way of avoiding overload. Doing so will let you organize your thoughts and will assist you in remembering every assignment's specific instructions and due dates. If you don't want to write on paper, several applications in your cell phone can act as planners and to-do lists. This way, you'll have access to them anytime, anywhere.

You can also print out and hang up a timetable near your workspace. These timetables will remind you what you should do and will be hard to ignore. It'll be easy to see assignments you need to prioritize so you can do those right away.

Of course, just having a timetable is not enough. You need to do what's necessary for the day, week, or month and keep to it. Be careful of mix-ups, which can compromise your plans and get you confused.

declutter-your-workstation

Distractions can prevent you from doing the things you need to accomplish. Only you know what can and will distract you. So get your cell phone, any video games, and even Netflix away from you when you decide it's time to get down to business.

Keep your workspace free from distractions. You need to remove posters, writings, and anything from your workspace that can shift your focus away from doing your assignment.

You also need a quiet place to finish your task. Or, if you prefer to have loud music while you do your homework, space where you will not disturb anyone else. The distractions present around are different for every person. You need to know what causes these distractions and take appropriate actions to prevent or at least manage them.

time-management

Many students delay doing their tasks, thinking they still have a lot of time to accomplish whatever they need to do. Some assume that taking a break now and doing the task later will not hurt their concentration.

Wrong. This trap can lead you to spend several hours scrolling through your social media accounts, which will even affect your eyes' long-term health. When you finally decide to start, your eyes will already be tired. It'll be harder to finish your work with strained eyes and added pressure of the looming deadline. You will regret not starting earlier.

One primary key to avoiding procrastination is to have enough time to finish your homework. Start writing a schedule of your activities. Appropriate your free time for the next days and plan what you can do within that time.

This schedule will be your guide and can include study sessions and breaks as well. You will have less time to procrastinate when you have a lineup of assignments waiting for you. Having proper time management will also give you more time to work on and polish your projects for better grades.

Several applications on your phone can remind you of the tasks you need to accomplish for the day. You can also set alarms several hours before a critical due date so you will not forget to do it.

focus

Setting goals is one of the ways to stay on track and complete your task. These goals will be motivating you to strive and work hard to get things done. Even when you start to think of something else besides what you're currently working on, you can go back to your goals and get inspired to go back and finish your task.

You can choose grand motivations. For example, you want to have a high GPA so you can graduate with flying colors. To do so, you will need to do well in your homework and finish them on time. You can write these grand goals near your workspace to remind yourself why you're studying and doing your homework.

You can also start with small goals. Such as if you finish the first part of your essay assignment, you can play one round of your favorite game on your phone, or you can take a bite of your favorite snack. You just have to be disciplined and not get carried away with the gaming and snacking.

You'll also be able to discover your learning style. Maybe you learn faster by reading your notes, listening to recordings of your lessons, or rewriting what's on your notebooks. When you find out what works for you, you'll be able to quickly focus and strategize how to finish your task on time.

Listening to classical music also helps in staying focused. The lack of lyrics aids in meditation allows deep concentration. So go ahead and add some classical music to your playlist!

take-breaks

Having breaks can be perceived as a distraction. However, studies show that taking breaks boosts productivity.

Taking a short nap, eating snacks, and drinking water can be your way of relaxing after a long study session. But be careful about taking too many short breaks - it can be distracting, and you might end up not getting things done.

The ideal break is 5 to 15 minutes per one hour and 30 minutes for 2 to 4 hours of study sessions or work. You can also follow the Pomodoro technique of a 5-minute break for 25 minutes of work and the Desktime study of a 17-minute break for 52 minutes of work. These breaks will give you enough time to clear your head and finish your tasks on time.

help

Some homework examples cannot be found in your textbooks and lectures. Thankfully, we live in an era where everything seems to be on the internet, and there are even different online resources to get homework help from. These online resources provide information on various topics and tutorials on papers you need to write . However, you need to counter-check these resources to make sure that they're credible and reliable.

Studybay is an online resource you can ask for help from and directly work with experts in different fields. It has over 7,000 experts who can assist you with your homework . They have a review of a 96% satisfaction level from students around the world who used their site.

reward-yourself

There are times when you feel like you aren't in the mood to do your homework or any other schoolwork. When this happens, you can think of a reward that you can have after completing the task. Reward systems are proven to be effective in motivating a person to do something.

After long hours of homework and finishing what you should, reward yourself for all your hard work. Rewards can also motivate you to do the next task you have. You will have something to look forward to once you have completed another work.

The following homework tips can help you get your homework done faster:

  • Have a planner to organize your task for the week or month.
  • Prepare a schedule for the day for your study sessions and breaks.
  • Set alarm reminders hours or minutes before a deadline.
  • Eat healthy foods and drink water to function well for the day.
  • Discover your learning style.
  • Ask for help if you need to.
  • Always check your resources if they are credible and reliable.
  • Clean your workspace.
  • Don't procrastinate and stay focused on the task you need to accomplish.
  • Listen to classical music for concentration.
  • Motivate yourself with rewards.
  • Set goals and display them in your workspace

You can try different things and find what works well for you.

Although you don't have a lot of time within the day to finish what you have to, it will be best to avoid procrastination by spending your time wisely.

There are several time-consuming and distracting activities, and you need to know how to deal with them. Have a proper schedule and follow it so you don't end up compromising other tasks you need to do.

Prioritize the tasks given to you and appropriate the right amount of time needed to finish them.

10 Tips to Get Your Homework Done Fast

10 Tips to Get Your Homework Done Fast

Introduction

It's a tale as old as time: the clock ticking away ominously as you sit there, a heap of untouched homework glaring at you. The common hurdle many face is not the complexity of homework but the time management and discipline it requires. As the night descends, the looming deadline causes stress levels to skyrocket. However, fret not! Through this article, we unfold ten practical homework tips and hacks aimed at transforming this daunting task into a manageable one. Let's break it down together and achieve ultimate motivation.

provided you finish your homework first

Make a To-Do List

The first step towards conquering your homework begins on a note of organization. Drafting a to-do list is a classic yet effective homework tip. This list will serve as your roadmap, outlining the tasks at hand. It not only organizes your thoughts but also provides a clear picture of the workload, helping to prioritize tasks accordingly.

Gather Your Resources

Before diving into the homework ocean, ensure you have all the necessary gear. Books, notes, stationery, and any other materials should be at arm's length. This prep step is a significant time-saver. It's also a moment to seek homework help if you realize you're missing crucial information. Having everything ready will smoothen the journey, ensuring you don't have to scurry around searching for a pen or a textbook amidst a study session.

Seek Help When Needed

There's no glory in struggling alone. When a concept seems confusing, seeking homework help from teachers, peers or online platforms can provide clarity. Platforms like Tutorpeers come in handy, offering assistance in over 50 subjects with affordable tutors available 24/7. The best part? All studying happens on the platform, eliminating the need for extra apps. This smart strategy not only saves time but also builds a better understanding, making your homework journey a lot smoother.

provided you finish your homework first

Create a Timetable

A timetable is your game plan. Allocate time slots to each task based on its complexity and urgency. This structure provides a clear vision, helps in tracking your progress, and ensures that you are on schedule. It's a step closer to mastering the art of time management, a core element in achieving homework success.

Stay tuned as we delve deeper into more insightful homework hacks in the following sections aimed to ease your homework routine, offering a lifeline when you're in dire need of homework help.

Designate a Distraction-free Zone

Crafting the right environment is crucial for homework success. Dedicate a spot that's not only free from distractions like noise or visual clutter, but also inviting and comfortable. Ensure you have a comfy chair, a table at the right height, and enough room to spread your resources. Personalize your space with elements that make it enjoyable to be at—be it a plant, some soft music, or pictures that inspire you. This homework hack goes beyond just limiting distractions—it's about creating a space where your mind can focus and flourish.

Limit Technology Usage

It's easy to lose track of time browsing social media or responding to messages. Create a tech-free bubble during your homework time. Keep your phone, tablet, or other distractions in another room. If you need a device for your work, consider using apps that block distractions.

Team Up With a Study Buddy

Companionship can make the daunting homework journey enjoyable. A study buddy brings a different perspective, and together you can divide tasks, discuss concepts, and keep each other on track. It's a blend of social interaction and productivity. Platforms like Tutorpeers offer a fantastic avenue to connect with peers for one-on-one tutoring sessions. Whether it's homework assignments or exam prep, having a study buddy from Tutorpeers can significantly enrich your learning experience. Ready to elevate your homework game?

provided you finish your homework first

Take Scheduled Breaks

Continuous study sessions can lead to burnout, hampering productivity. Techniques like the Pomodoro Technique, working for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break, can be effective. However, everyone's rhythm is different. Some might find longer work intervals of 2 hours with a 15 to 20-minute break more suitable. The key is to find a rhythm that keeps you refreshed and focused. Tailoring your break schedule to what suits you best can significantly enhance your concentration and efficiency, making the homework routine more sustainable and less stressful.

Reward Your Progress

Positive reinforcement is a powerful motivator. Set up a reward system to celebrate small and big wins alike. Finished a challenging assignment? Treat yourself to a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. Maintained a consistent homework routine for a month? Maybe it's time to discuss that iPhone 15 reward with your parents. By associating rewards with accomplishments, you create a motivating cycle that makes tackling homework a more enticing endeavor. This cycle of work and reward fosters a positive attitude towards homework, steering you towards a path of homework success.

Prioritize and Chunk Your Tasks

Start by listing all your assignments and categorize them based on their due dates and importance. Tackle the most urgent and challenging tasks first. This approach not only helps you meet deadlines but also allows you to focus on complex tasks while your energy levels are high.

Once you've prioritized your assignments, break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. For example, if you have a 10-page essay to write, aim to complete two pages a day instead of cramming it all into one night. This method makes the work less daunting and gives you a sense of accomplishment as you tick off each mini-goal.

By combining prioritization with task chunking, you'll find that your homework becomes much more manageable. You'll reduce stress, improve your focus, and, most importantly, you'll get your homework done more efficiently.

The voyage through piles of homework need not be solitary or dreary. Armed with these 10 insightful tips, navigating through the homework landscape can be a more organized, less stressful endeavor. Implementing these strategies can usher in a transformative approach towards homework, morphing it from a dreaded task to a manageable, even enjoyable endeavor. Embrace these hacks, seek homework help when needed, and stride confidently on the path of academic success. Your journey towards achieving homework success just got a lot smoother!

Q: How can I enjoy doing homework?

A: To enjoy doing homework, try to make it more engaging. Use colorful notes, listen to calming music, or turn it into a game. The key is to find what makes the task enjoyable for you.

Q: What's the best time of day to do homework for maximum efficiency?

A: The best time to do homework varies from person to person. Some people are more productive in the morning, while others find their focus in the evening. Experiment to find your peak productivity hours.

Q: How long does it take to receive scores?

A: The time it takes to receive scores can vary depending on the type of assignment and the grading process. For most regular homework assignments, you can expect feedback within a week.

Q: Is multitasking an effective way to get homework done faster?

A: Multitasking might seem like a good idea, but it often leads to decreased focus and quality. It's generally more effective to concentrate on one task at a time.

Q: How can I minimize distractions while doing homework?

A: To minimize distractions, create a dedicated, clutter-free workspace. Use apps or techniques like the Pomodoro Technique to manage your time and take short, scheduled breaks to recharge.

How to Finish Homework Fast

It can be difficult to get your homework done quickly, especially if you have many tasks and due dates at once. You can speed up the homework process and finish jobs without sacrificing quality if you know what to do and how to think about it. This guide will look at ten useful methods to help you handle your homework better. All of these tips will help you be more productive. This guide will offer valuable insights to help you stay on track and achieve your academic goals.

Table of Content

Strategize Your Task Management

The first step to finishing your homework quickly is to organize your tasks efficiently. Start by making a comprehensive list of all the homework assignments you must complete. This list should include due dates and estimated time for each task. You can prioritize tasks based on their urgency and complexity by having a clear overview of what needs to be done.

Organizing your tasks helps you avoid last-minute rushes and ensures that you don’t overlook any assignments. Breaking down large projects into smaller, manageable tasks can make them less daunting and easier to tackle. This method lets you focus on one thing at a time, making your homework more manageable and less overwhelming.

Optimize Your Study Environment

Having a dedicated and organized workspace is crucial for productivity. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can focus without distractions. Make sure your workspace is well-lit and free from unnecessary clutter. Gather all the materials and resources you’ll need before you start working, such as textbooks, notebooks, pens, and your computer.

A well-prepared workspace minimizes interruptions and helps you maintain concentration. Personalizing your space with items that motivate you, like a vision board or inspirational quotes, can also be beneficial. Creating an environment conducive to studying can enhance your focus and efficiency.

Master Time Management

Effective time management is key to completing your homework quickly. Start by setting specific time blocks for each task on your list. Use a timer to allocate a set amount of time for each subject or assignment. This method, known as time blocking, helps you stay focused and work more efficiently. There’s also something good about scheduling jobs that need more focus during your most productive times. If a student needs extra help, looking for help with homework online can give them access to useful tools and advice. By effectively managing your time, you can ensure that you stay on track and complete your homework more swiftly and effectively.

Another useful technique is the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and a 5-minute break. After four Pomodoro sessions, take a longer break. This approach helps maintain your concentration and prevents burnout. By managing your time wisely, you can ensure that you stay on track and complete your homework promptly.

Maximize the Benefits of Breaks

Taking breaks is essential for maintaining productivity. Short, frequent breaks can help you recharge and maintain focus. Use your breaks to do something relaxing or enjoyable, such as stretching, walking, or listening to music. These activities can help clear your mind and reduce stress.

Avoid activities that might prolong your break or distract you from returning to work, such as browsing social media or watching TV. Instead, choose activities that refresh your mind and body so you can return to your homework with renewed energy and focus. When you need a break, mindful breathing techniques can also help clear your mind and focus better. While on breaks, students who need to look at helpful websites or watch short educational videos to help them with their tasks are at their best. This approach ensures that your brakes are both restorative and productive.

Maintain Your Focus

Staying on track requires discipline and self-control. Turn off updates on your phone and computer to cut down on distractions. And while you’re studying, you might want to use apps that block distracting websites. If you find your mind wandering, gently bring your focus back to the task at hand.

Another strategy is to set specific, short-term goals for each study session. For example, aim to complete a particular chapter or set of problems within a certain time frame. This approach keeps you motivated and provides a sense of accomplishment as you complete each goal. Additionally, leveraging technology like AI for chemistry homework can help you stay on track by providing instant feedback and personalized assistance. This can make challenging subjects more manageable and help you maintain your momentum. By combining these strategies, you can enhance your focus and ensure steady progress in your studies.

Create a Reward System

Rewarding yourself for completing tasks can be a powerful motivator. Set up a reward system where you treat yourself after finishing your homework or reaching specific milestones. Reward ideas can be easy and not cost much, like having a snack, watching an episode of your favorite show, or hanging out with friends.

Having something to look forward to can make the homework process more enjoyable and less tedious. It also reinforces positive behavior and encourages you to continue working efficiently. To get the most out of your reward system, ensure the rewards fit your hobbies and preferences. If you like to play video games, for example, giving yourself some game time after you finish a job can be a great way to keep you going. Similarly, planning a fun exercise with your friends as a reward can give you extra social pressure to finish your homework on time.

Leverage Productivity Apps

In today’s digital age, numerous productivity apps are available that can help you stay organized and focused. Apps like Todoist, Trello, and Evernote can help you manage your tasks and keep track of deadlines. Some apps and websites can help you with lessons and explanations. Use them If you need more specialized help with a topic like chemistry or physics. For example, if you need help with chemistry homework, apps like Chem Doodle or websites like Khan Academy can be invaluable resources.

When you use efficiency apps, they can help you get more done and handle harder topics better. They can keep you on track with your work and help you finish your homework faster. Many apps also let you set reminders and keep track of your progress, which can help you stay on track and encouraged. Group projects can also be better by using apps with collaborative tools that make talking to and working with your friends easy. Using technology to help you study can help you make the most of your time and improve your learning.

Establish Clear and Achievable Goals

Setting clear and achievable goals is crucial for staying motivated and focused. Start by identifying your long-term academic goals, then break them down into smaller, short-term ones. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

If your long-term goal is to get better grades in college physics, you could make it a short-term goal to study more and turn in all of your homework on time. Sett and reach these smaller goals. So, you keep yourself inspired to reach your bigger academic goals.

Analyze Diverse Study Methods

Different study techniques work for different people, so it’s important to experiment and find what works best for you. Some effective study techniques include:

  • Active Recall. Actively testing yourself on the material, rather than passively reading or highlighting.
  • Spaced Repetition. Review material at increasing intervals to improve retention.
  • Mind Mapping. Creating visual diagrams to organize and connect information.
  • Feynman Technique. Explaining concepts in simple terms as if teaching someone else.

By trying out different methods, you can find the ones that help you learn and remember things the best. This can lead to more efficient homework sessions and better academic performance.

Emphasize Self-Care

Taking care of your physical and mental well-being is essential for maintaining productivity. Ensure you sleep well, eat a balanced diet, and exercise regularly. These habits contribute to better concentration, memory, and overall cognitive function. Additionally, manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for avoiding burnout and staying motivated.

Prioritizing self-care ensures you have the energy and focus to complete your homework efficiently and effectively. Remember, seeking support when needed is also part of self-care. For instance, you find certain subjects particularly challenging, like physics. Thus, seeking college physics homework help can alleviate stress and improve your knowledge. This proactive approach will help you maintain a healthy and productive study routine. Taking care of yourself ultimately leads to better academic performance and a more balanced life.

You need to be organized, good at managing your time, and self-disciplined to finish your schoolwork quickly and well. Organizing your tasks, setting up your desk, and using time management skills can all help you be more productive. You can stay inspired and on task by taking breaks, sticking to your plan, and rewarding yourself. Setting clear goals and using productivity apps can help you stay on track, and trying out different ways to study can help you find the best way to learn. Last but not least, putting yourself first will give you the mental and physical energy to do your tasks. Using these tips will help you finish your homework faster and give you more time to do other things. They will help you stay on top of your work and do well in school.

How to Finish Your Homework Fast – 5 Effective Tips and Tricks

finish homework fast

Students of all ages find themselves struggling to finish their homework for one reason or another. In a technology-driven world, it’s always tempting to check your social media feed, play video games, or watch online videos to rid your mind of all your school worries. And before you know it, you have barely any time left to complete your homework and submit it on time.

Of course, you can’t be irresponsible and ignore your assignments altogether. It’s important to find ways to work around the everyday distractions and finish what needs to be done. Without question, this is easier said than done. But there are plenty of tips and tricks you can use to finish your homework fast. Keep reading to learn how to get motivated to complete your homework—even without lifting a finger!

Mastering the Basic Rules

There are some good tips you can follow which will ultimately help you focus on your assignments, stay organized and complete them in the least amount of time. These rules don’t require money or any special knowledge. It’s all about prepping yourself up for the task at hand. What’s great about mastering these basic rules is that once they become a habit, you’ll find yourself eager to finish your homework without even thinking about it.

  • Eliminate Distractions – Several things cause you to feel distracted and unable to do your college or high school homework assignments. It’s not uncommon for you to start studying and doing your homework, and then your phone beeps and the rest is history. You constantly tell yourself that you’ll spend only 5 minutes on your phone, but you end up tapping away at the screen for hours on end. Other distractions include TV, magazines, and even the people surrounding you. Sometimes, all it takes is for a friend or family member to start a conversation to completely distract you from your schoolwork. This is precisely why you should eliminate distractions—or at least keep them to a minimum. Try to avoid watching TV, keeping your phone in another room, and finding a quiet place where you can’t be easily reached. Listening to music is neither an option.  If it requires living like a recluse for a few hours to complete your assignments, then, by all means, do it. It won’t be easy, but you’ll thank yourself for making this change. In any case, all these distractors will add hours and hours of homework.
  • Prioritize Tasks – Many school students choose to do the easiest tasks first when the time to study comes. But did you know that experts recommend starting with the hardest task? This has to do with your willpower. Interestingly, willpower is a resource that diminishes as the day goes by. This explains why people love to lay in bed at night, nibble on midnight snacks and make irrational decisions late in the day. As soon as your classes are over, spend a couple of minutes planning what you should do for the rest of the day. If you need to write a research or dissertation paper, figure out how long it will take you to finish it. This helps you allow enough time for your assignments, and perhaps find some time to do other things you love—be it hanging out with friends, watching your favorite TV series, or just getting enough shuteye.
  • Work with Peers – Introducing a system of accountability in your routine can go a long way in establishing excellent studying habits. Only a handful of the student population study with their classmates. Maybe this has to do with how convenient it is to communicate with others through instant messaging apps and social media platforms. Sometimes, it seems like there’s no sense in meeting in person with your friends if you can just text or call them for free. But when it comes to getting your homework done, working with your peers can be a huge difference maker that can make your brains work better. You might not realize it, but sitting in silence is the reason why you’re not feeling motivated to complete your assignments. Boredom can get the best of you at times, so why not try finding ways to make this otherwise dull activity into something fun and exciting? This offers the advantage of getting help from your friends if you’re having difficulties with a particular topic. Of course, it helps if you have a friend who performs well in your classes. As the adage goes, two heads are better than one. This can’t be any truer when it comes to studying. What’s more, there’ll be someone who holds you accountable for all the tasks you don’t finish on time. This can be just what you need to stay focused on your tasks.
  • Understand the Consequences and Benefits – Many students don’t display any hesitation in saying that they hate assignments. It takes away time which they could otherwise spend with their families, friends, and favorite activities. There’s a never-ending debate about how useful assignments really are, but the fact remains that students have no choice other than to comply with the requirements given out by their teachers. Instead of purely thinking of how much you hate assignments, why not look on the other side and consider its benefits? Assignments can be a huge pain, but there’s no doubt that they aid your classroom learning. For one, it hones your problem-solving skills, especially if you manage to complete a difficult homework by doing all the research and studying yourself. It always feels rewarding when you accomplish something you thought you couldn’t. Also, take some time to think about the consequences of failing to complete your assignments on time. What happens if you don’t do your homework? The obvious repercussions include getting a bad grade and being scolded by your teachers and parents. But the biggest consequence is that you’re missing an opportunity to learn new lessons, discover your strengths, develop your skills to become not just a better student, but a better person as well.
  • Get Professional Help – There are times in which you start doing your homework and then find yourself unable to progress. In most cases, this has to do with your lack of understanding of the topic, the unavailability of research materials, or an emergency that forces you to stop completing your assignment. What can you do during such scenarios? At first, you might think that there’s nothing left to do but accept the terrible grade you’ll receive and just move on. But did you know that you can enlist real experts to get your homework done fast? Assignment Expert has been helping students across the globe finish their assignments on time, get high marks, and learn their school lessons at the same time. It’s undeniable that many teachers give out assignments that prove too challenging. Some assignments may be about a topic that hasn’t been covered yet. It seems as if teachers always assume that students can do their own research because all the answers can be found on the web nowadays. But the fact is, students need professional help sometimes. This is your best course of action when you have a lot of assignments to finish but want to have free time instead. What’s great is that you’ll be matched with the right expert based on the topic and its difficulty. Whether you struggle with lack of motivation, don’t understand the subject, have just  one math problem or have to attend to an emergency, Assignment Expert is always ready and willing to work on your homework and finish it for you in no time.

Spend less time on homework

How many times have you found yourself still staring at your textbook around midnight (or later!) even when you started your homework hours earlier? Those lost hours could be explained by Parkinson’s Law, which states, “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself all night to memorize those geometry formulas for your quiz tomorrow, you’ll inevitably find that a 30 minute task has somehow filled your entire evening.

We know that you have more homework than ever. But even with lots and lots to do, a few tweaks to your study routine could help you spend less time getting more accomplished. Here are 8 steps to make Parkinson’s Law work to your advantage:

1. Make a list

This should be a list of everything that has to be done that evening. And we mean, everything—from re-reading notes from this morning’s history class to quizzing yourself on Spanish vocabulary.

2. Estimate the time needed for each item on your list

You can be a little ruthless here. However long you think a task will take, try shaving off 5 or 10 minutes. But, be realistic. You won’t magically become a speed reader.

3. Gather all your gear

Collect EVERYTHING you will need for the homework you are working on (like your laptop for writing assignments and pencils for problem sets). Getting up for supplies takes you off course and makes it that much harder to get back to your homework.

The constant blings and beeps from your devices can make it impossible to focus on what you are working on. Switch off or silence your phones and tablets, or leave them in another room until it’s time to take a tech break.

5. Time yourself

Noting how much time something actually takes will help you estimate better and plan your next study session.

6. Stay on task

If you’re fact checking online, it can be so easy to surf on over to a completely unrelated site. A better strategy is to note what information you need to find online, and do it all at once at the end of the study session.

7. Take plenty of breaks

Most of us need a break between subjects or to break up long stretches of studying. Active breaks are a great way to keep your energy up. Tech breaks can be an awesome way to combat the fear of missing out that might strike while you are buried in your work, but they also tend to stretch much longer than originally intended. Stick to a break schedule of 10 minutes or so.

8. Reward yourself! 

Finish early? If you had allocated 30 minutes for reading a biology chapter and it only took 20, you can apply those extra 10 minutes to a short break—or just move on to your next task. If you stay on track, you might breeze through your work quickly enough to catch up on some Netflix.

Our best piece of advice? Keep at it. The more you use this system, the easier it will become. You’ll be surprised by how much time you can shave off homework just by focusing and committing to a distraction-free study plan.
