🔍 Key Concepts

• Know the basic parts of a stockless anchor: shank, crown, arms, flukes, and anchor shackle • The anchor shackle is the fitting that actually connects the anchor to the chain or cable • Distinguish between the long central bar (shank) and the separate shackle attached to it

💭 Think About

• Look at which letter is pointing to the fitting that would attach to the anchor chain, not to the anchor body itself • Ask yourself: which labeled part could realistically open/close or be pinned to connect a chain? • Compare the position of each option (J, K, F, H) on the anchor and decide which one is a separate connector rather than a structural part of the anchor

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the part you choose is at the end of the shank where the chain would connect • Verify that the part looks like a U-shaped or link-type connector, not a flat or sharp fluke/edge • Make sure you are not mistaking the shank (long vertical bar) or the crown/base for the detachable shackle fitting
