Anchoring


I have a question for the group. I own a 2002 carver 42' sportsman. She is the same boat as a later model 420 Mariner with the large rear arch and I had owned one of them for a few years. Both boats have a weird tendency to swing when anchored. I can't tell if it's the tide , wind or a combination. I have tried long scope , short scope , and tied off at the bow cleat , nothing seams to stop it. I have 5/8" nylon anchor line and 30' of chain and generally anchor in inshore areas along Florida's East coast so problem with holding , but the swinging is annoying at best. Help or suggestions , please.
