🔍 Key Concepts

• How a stockless anchor holds – why the flukes need to lie flat and dig in • Scope of chain – how having chain on the bottom affects the angle of pull on the anchor • Direction of pull on the shank – what angle makes the flukes bite instead of pulling them out

💭 Think About

• Picture the anchor on the bottom: if you pull straight up on the shank, what happens to the flukes? If you pull nearly horizontally, what happens instead? • Which chain direction will keep the pull as close to horizontal as possible so the flukes can dig in and stay buried? • Think about the geometry: how is the shank lined up with the chain when the anchor is holding correctly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option keeps a low, nearly horizontal pull on the anchor shank • Check which chain direction makes it easiest for the flukes to stay buried, not be pried out • Eliminate any option where the pull on the shank would tend to lift the anchor instead of dragging it along the bottom
