Q

After deploying the anchor, a permanent chain chaser is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Permanent chain chaser purpose and how it differs from a temporary chain stopper or riding pawl • What happens to gear that is ONLY used to help run the anchor chain out during letting go • Safe rigging practice after the anchor is on the bottom and chain is paid out to the desired scope

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a permanent chain chaser meant to stay in service during anchoring, or is it mainly for controlling the chain while paying out or heaving in? • Think about which items must be left clear so the anchor chain can lead freely once the vessel is riding at anchor. • Consider what would be done with equipment that, if left connected to the chain, could foul, chafe, or interfere with normal anchor holding.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the function of a chain chaser is during the anchor operation versus while the vessel is lying at anchor. • Check which choice matches normal post‑anchoring securing procedures on deck and around the windlass. • Confirm that the option you choose would leave the anchor chain clear, unobstructed, and safely arranged while the ship rides to the anchor.
