What does it matter what time one anchors if the question is about the clearance at LW? Seems like the correct answer would be 2.7 (draught + clearance) minus .3 (LW)=2.4m. Thanks

Sure. On Saturday 5th October at 1333 a boat is preparing to anchor in Namely Harbour. a) Calculate the height of tide at 1333. b) How much will the tide fall between 1333 and LW? c) The boat has a draught of 1.7m. What is the minimum depth of water to anchor in at 1333 to give 1.0m clearance at LW?
