🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor handling safety before letting go • Importance of clear anchor and chain lead • Correct setup and status of windlass/wildcat

💭 Think About

• If only one of these items is not checked, what could go wrong when the anchor is released? • Which choice best reflects standard safe seamanship practice: checking one item or considering the whole anchoring system? • Think about the path from the anchor, through the chain, over the windlass, and out the hawse pipe—what needs to be verified along that entire path before release?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you understand what a wildcat is and what it means to be engaged vs. disengaged • Visualize the entire anchor system and ensure each part is free to run without fouling • Ask whether good seamanship focuses on a single check or a complete safety check of related components before letting go
