Q

Which is an example of an anchor which has a stock?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Stock on an anchor: what it is and what it does • Basic shapes/styles of common small-boat anchors (e.g., Danforth, Bruce, etc.) • How a stock changes the way an anchor sets on the bottom

💭 Think About

• Picture each anchor type you know by name and ask yourself: does this one have a bar at the top (crosspiece) that keeps it lying over on its side? • Think about which anchors are specifically known as modern stockless designs—those will NOT have what the question is asking about. • Ask: which of these designs is often shown with a long crossbar that must sometimes be removed or folded for stowage on deck?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what a stock is: a crossbar at or near the shank, usually at right angles to the flukes. • Eliminate anchor types you know are stockless (common modern small-boat anchors). • Visualize how each anchor sets: does it rely on a stock to roll over, or on its own weighted shape and flukes?
