  • @prasobhsugadhan

    Negative sir. The load is on the gear, and hence it won't be possible to disengage it. Hence, will have to tighten the brake, take load off the gear and then disengage. Regards ❤️

    @@prasobhsugadhan huge thanks sir for the fast reply! so if the gear is disengaged first without the brake tighten, the anchor would be falling down into the sea, right? And the same principle is for mooring winches: when adjusting a mooring line first the gear is engaged, the brake loosened, the rope adjusted, the brake tighten and then the gear disengaged, correct?

  • @prasobhsugadhan

    @prasobhsugadhan

    Жыл бұрын

    The principle for mooring winch is same as the anchor, but the real issue is both are acting at different axis. Anchor is on a vertical axis, while the Mooring rope is at horizontal axis. In case of a mooring winch, there is a possibility that you will be able to de-cluth if the rope is off-tension, enabling the clutch to be disengaged. In case of an anchor, the weight is never going to be off, since always its going to act downwards, rendering the de-clutching operation impossible due to the weight pushing on to the gear. Hence, the only way it can be released off gear, will be to tighten the brake, slightly turn the gear, enabling loss of weight on the gear, thereby enabling de-clutching. I hope this clarifies your query sir. Regards ❤️

  • @prasobhsugadhan

    @prasobhsugadhan

    Жыл бұрын

    Sir, its a good question. The anchor chain is made of links (which are the ones you see) and every 27.5 meters of length of link is called a shackle. So, once 27.5 m of chain is completed, it is joined using a Kenter Shackle which will be coloured red and the links on either side will be coloured white (with respect to the number of shackle). Suppose, its 27.5 m of chain, the first joining shackle will be painted red and a single link on either side of the shackle will be painted white. Now, if its the 7th shackle, the Kenter Shackle will be painted red and seven links on either side will be painted white. So, as you let go the anchor, we just watch out for the number of shackles that have passed over the gypsy. When master gives a command for 3 shackles, he is basically aiming for 3x27.5 meters of cable length. I believe you got an understanding. Ping me for any further clarification. Regards ❤️.

    The chain will lose tension, and it won't go through the gypsy. Also, if there is speed, the anchor will change direction from up and down to short or medium stay at once.
