🔍 Key Concepts

• Windlass braking purpose and failure modes in deep-water drilling or anchoring • Differences between brakes, stoppers, and clutches in anchor handling • What happens if power is lost while lowering or holding heavy gear in deep water

💭 Think About

• Which option will still safely hold and control the load if electrical or hydraulic power is suddenly lost? • Which device is designed specifically to prevent reverse rotation / runaway of a shaft under heavy load? • Is a chain stopper considered a brake, or a separate mechanical securing device used in addition to the windlass brake?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is explicitly a brake, not just a stopper or a clutch • Consider which system is fail-safe and holds automatically under backload without needing active power • Think about deep water: very high static loads and the risk of the chain running out uncontrollably if the brake fails
