the pipe passing through the bow section of a ship that the anchor chain passes through

146
Q

A devils claw is used

A

to secure the anchor chain to the ship

147
Q

To weigh the anchor you

A

Energize the windlass, engage the windlass, release the brake and test it’s operation
Then set. your brake, cast off the riding stopper and clear it from the gain
The anchor is now engaged, held by the brake and backed up by the housing stopper

148
Q

149
Q

Windlasses are provides with _______ or ____ which are used to handling mooring lines when docking and undocking

A

capstans or catheads

150
Q

There are two general types of windlasses installed aboard vessels

A

the horizontal shaft windlass and the vertical shaft windlass

151
Q

Which type os windlass is usually self-contained, with the windlass and windlass motor mounted on the same bedplate. It handles both the port and starboard anchors and is found aboard large vessels

A

the horizontal shaft windless

152
Q

What type of windlass is found tugs and barges, where the power sources is located below deck with only the wildcat and capstan showing above deck. This type of windlass can handle only one acnhow

A

vertical shaft windlass

153
Q

What heave steel plat is “dogged down” by butterfly nuts when a vessel is at see and covers the hawsepipe opening on desk to prevent water from rushing up the hawsepipe and sailing on deck

A

Buckler plates

154
Q

A metal fairlead for the anchor chain, it prevents the chain from fowling on deck and also holds the riding pawl

A

the riding chock

155
Q

A safety stopper that works like a rocket on the lines of the chain. It is lift up to the “open” position when the anchor chain is rune out and closed when the chain is heaved in or is dropped in the after side of the riding chock. If a wildcat jumps out of gear, this will catch on a link of the anchor chain to keep it from running out

A

riding pawl

156
Q

A turnbuckle inserted in a short section of chain with a pelican hook or a devil’s claw attached to one end and shackle to the other end. It is screwed at the base of the windlass. In operation, the devil’s claws are used when the vessel is setting out to sea. The claws are put on a link of the chain and the turnbuckle is set up, acting as a permanent stopper. On some ships, a pelican hook is used.

A

Chain stopper

A

wildcat

158
Q

A band which bears on a flywheel. By tightening up on the band by means of a brake handle, the wildcat can be controlled

A

Friction brake

159
