Question 1 of 27070

Which indicates the holding capability of an anchor?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Holding power of an anchor vs its physical appearance • How an anchor interacts with the seabed (digging in and resistance) • What actually keeps a vessel in place: anchor + chain/rode + bottom type

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option is directly related to how well an anchor can resist a vessel’s movement once it is set on the bottom? • Which choices talk about appearance or vessel characteristics, and which talk about performance in the seabed? • Think about what happens after the anchor is let go and the vessel starts to pull on it—what quality really matters at that moment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes the performance of the anchor in the bottom, not how or where it is stored • Eliminate any answer that focuses only on vessel size or draft rather than bottom-holding ability • Focus on the choice that describes the anchor’s effectiveness at remaining set under load
