Question 3912 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Anchors are prevented from running out when secured by the pawls, devil's claw, and brake. Pawls are small hinged devices that engage the anchor chain or rode to prevent the anchor from running out. The devil's claw is a fitting that grips the anchor chain or rode to secure the anchor. The brake is a mechanism that applies friction to the anchor chain or rode to control the anchor's deployment. All three of these components work together to securely hold the anchor in place and prevent it from running out when not in use.
