🔍 Key Concepts

• Windlass and wildcat components and how they control anchor chain • Difference between stopping, holding, and backing up an anchor chain • How multiple securing devices can work together on the same anchor system

💭 Think About

• Think about which device is used to actually control the chain when it is veering out under load during letting go, not just when the anchor is fully housed. • Ask yourself which part is designed as an emergency or primary means of stopping the chain from running free if the main control fails. • Consider whether shipboard practice relies on only one of these devices, or if several are commonly used together for redundancy.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which item on the list is fitted directly on the windlass drum or wildcat to control chain movement. • Check which devices are specifically described as stoppers or securing devices, and which as control or friction devices. • Confirm whether exam questions like this often focus on the principal means of controlling the chain’s run, or on a combination of all securing devices.
