Very nice video sir! when the anchor is lowered above the water, can the gear be disengaged first and then tighten the brakes ? in the video was opposite

@prasobhsugadhan 11 ай бұрын

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 ❤️

@frateledragos9623 11 ай бұрын

@@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 11 ай 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 ❤️

Good question sir. I too have asked most masters the same. Each one has replied on his own logic, with cases of swinging circle, tide, and availability of anchor being included. Honestly, i too haven't figured it out correctly. Will update once I have a clarification. Regards ❤️.

Rightly said sir, But once we form a team, the communication happens automatically. Just by signals, or sight, its easy to find out the shackle numbers. Basically, its a team work. I believe i couldn't capture the essence of that element on film. Regards.

@ahmedjahangir2957 Жыл бұрын

sir what is 2 shackles and 3 shackles concept on deck, i see too many shackles going once moving from 2 to 3 on captan command

@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 ❤️.

You are around the ballpark figure sir. But, 1 shackle is 27.5 meters. It is not more, not less. Regards ❤️

Sir How to know if the anchor is touch the seabed ground

@prasobhsugadhan Жыл бұрын

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.
