Notes:
  • An Anchor is usually used as a suffix (e.g., Alter The Wave An Anchor).
  • It may help to think '6 Trade, 4 Trade, 2 Trade'.

Swing An Anchor [C4]:
From Facing Lines, Tidal Wave or other applicable formations. Arm Turn 1/2; An Anchor.

Cast An Anchor [C4]:
From Columns. Cast Off 3/4; An Anchor.

An Anchor But anything [C4]: Center 6 Trade; Outsides Step Thru, Ends Bend & Pass In as Centers do the anything call. This is the same as An Anchor except that the resulting Centers Replace the Center 4 Trade followed by Center 2 Trade with the anything call.
