🔍 Key Concepts

• Patent anchor vs. old-fashioned stock anchor – how the design changed but the basic functions stayed the same • Purpose of the stock on an old anchor – how it makes the flukes bite into the bottom instead of lying flat • Basic parts of a patent anchor: shank, arms, flukes, crown, tripping palm/bill/pea – what each part mainly does

💭 Think About

• Visualize an old-fashioned stocked anchor: which part sticks out sideways and makes the anchor turn so a fluke digs in? Now, which modern part has to create that same turning/rolling action? • Think about which part mainly takes the pull from the chain (vertical piece), which parts actually penetrate the seabed, and which small features help the anchor roll or break out when heaving in • Ask: which of these named parts is primarily about orientation and setting (making flukes dig in), not just strength or holding area

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can define each term: bill/pea, shank, arm, tripping palm before answering • Confirm which part is mainly the vertical bar of the anchor (takes the strain from the chain) and which part is the side projection that affects how the anchor lies on the bottom • Double-check which part is designed for tripping/recovery versus initial setting and digging in of the flukes
