🔍 Key Concepts

• Scope of anchor chain and how it affects the angle of pull on the anchor • Relationship between scope and vessel movement around the anchor • Practical effects on anchor holding power and gear strain

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the angle of the chain to the seabed when you let out MORE chain for the SAME water depth. • Consider whether a longer radius from the anchor will make the vessel’s swinging circle larger or smaller. • Ask yourself: does increasing scope absolutely prevent problems like dragging or fouling, or does it just change the likelihood?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what scope means: ratio of length of chain to water depth. • Consider how increased scope changes strain on the windlass and anchor gear. • Check whether any option claims an effect that sounds absolute (e.g., “prevents”) versus something that would “normally” or “generally” occur.
