🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of common anchor types in clay bottoms (e.g., how clay sticks to metal) • Meaning of "shod" in anchoring and how build‑up on flukes affects holding power • Difference between an anchor that digs in properly vs. one that drags under load

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a condition where the anchor looks like it’s set, but actually cannot grip the bottom effectively when strain comes on the chain? • In clay, what happens to smooth metal surfaces (like flukes) when they are pulled through the bottom—do they come out clean or coated, and how would that change holding power? • Which choices describe normal/good behavior in clay, and which describe a problem that would specifically lead to dragging?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option mentions a reduction in holding power rather than just how the anchor sits. • Ask yourself: in clay, is it more likely that the anchor fails because it won’t dig at all, or because it cannot grip well even after it seems to have dug in? • Focus on the choice that directly connects the clay’s properties to the anchor’s ability to hold under load, not just its position.

Question 1 of 20

When anchoring in a clay bottom, what is one hazard that may cause the anchor to drag?

The flukes may dig in unevenly and capsize the anchor when under stress.

The anchor may get shod with clay and not develop full holding power.

The anchor will tend to dig in and come to rest near the vertical.

The flukes may not dig in.
