Question 1 of 27070

In order to recognize the amount of anchor chain paid out, specific portions of the chain are color coded and wrapped with wire. A red painted detachable line would be found between the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain shot markings used in U.S. practice • How colors (red/white/blue) alternate between shots of chain • The difference between detachable links (joining shots) and the paint on links on either side

💭 Think About

• Think about what the very first joining link between the bitter end and the first shot looks like, and then how the pattern builds as you move farther out • Ask yourself: at how many shots out does red paint appear again in the standard repeating color sequence? • Consider whether one specific location has a red detachable link or whether red appears at multiple shot connections

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard color pattern for the detachable links between each shot (1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, etc.) • Check how many shots are represented in one full cycle of the color sequence before it repeats • Confirm whether red is used only once or more than once in that pattern between shots of chain
