🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of an anchor windlass and their specific functions • The device that actually grips the anchor chain versus devices that just hold or secure it • Difference between a rotating part and a non-rotating safety/holding part

💭 Think About

• Which part of the windlass must have indentations or pockets that match the links of the anchor chain so it can haul the chain in and out? • Which of these terms refers to something that holds or locks movement, rather than being the main rotating chain wheel? • Think about what must turn when you heave in the anchor and what must stay still to keep it from running out accidentally.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is the rotating wheel that engages chain links directly • Eliminate any parts that are mainly locking/safety devices rather than hauling devices • Confirm which name you’ve seen in diagrams of a windlass gypsy/wheel for chain in your seamanship text
