🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of anchor handling gear: chain stopper, riding pawl, devil’s claw • How the anchor cable is controlled when the windlass/winch fails • Difference between devices that hold the chain vs. those that secure/store it

💭 Think About

• Which piece of gear is designed to physically stop the chain from running out if the mechanical power fails? • On a working anchor detail, what equipment takes the actual load of the chain while at anchor, instead of the winch itself? • Which of these items is most associated with holding the chain on the wildcat/gypsy, and which are more for securing the chain for sea or backup safety?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each choice with its primary function: holding load, securing for sea, or backup restraint • Visualize the anchor arrangement on deck: which device is right next to the wildcat/windlass and meant to hold the chain if it starts to surge? • Eliminate any item that is mainly used to lash or back up the chain when you are not actively heaving in the anchor
