🔍 Key Concepts

• On a stockless anchor, the tripping palm is a small projection near the crown that helps break the anchor out when you heave on the cable from a different direction. • Know the basic parts: shank, fluke, palm, crown, and tripping palm and where they sit relative to the bottom. • Look closely at the letters near the very bottom of the anchor, especially where it would first start to move when being broken out of the seabed.

💭 Think About

• Which part of the anchor actually digs in and holds, and which smaller part is designed mainly to help release or “trip” the anchor? • If the pull on the cable reverses, what part of the anchor would catch on the bottom and roll or flip the anchor out? • Compare the letters around the lower edge: which one points to a small lug or projection instead of a broad surface or structural member?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can point to the fluke and palm first; eliminate any letters that indicate those main holding surfaces. • Verify that the shank is identified and remove that choice from consideration, since it is not the tripping palm. • Focus on the small projection at the crown/bottom edge that would act as a lever to start the anchor rolling out of the ground.
