Q

Which is NOT a part of an anchor?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of a stockless anchor (shank, crown, flukes, palms, bills) • Deck gear vs. anchor parts – items used to control or secure the anchor chain • How anchors are drawn and labeled in seamanship diagrams

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask yourself: is this something physically built into the anchor itself, or is it a separate piece of gear used with the anchor? • Think about seamanship diagrams: which of these labels have you actually seen pointing to parts of the anchor body? • Consider what equipment is used to stop or secure the anchor chain on deck, rather than being part of the anchor that rests on the seabed.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, picture a standard stockless anchor and see if you can point to that part on the anchor itself. • Verify which terms are associated with the fluke area of the anchor and which are associated with chain-stopping gear on deck. • Make sure you are not confusing anchor parts with windlass / chain stopper components.
