    Ground tackle consists of the equipment used to anchor a vessel, including anchors, anchor chains, connecting devices, and an anchor windlass. Anchors are metal devices that connect the vessel to the sea or lake bed to prevent drifting. Anchor chains are made of interlocking metal links that attach the anchor to the boat. An anchor windlass is a machine that raises and lowers anchors by winding or unwinding the anchor chain. A capstan is similar to a windlass but has a vertical axle and is used to apply force to ropes or cables.

    GROUND TACKLES

    By Imperato Massimo

    What does it mean?


    Ground tackle consists of all the equipment used in anchoring. This includes the anchors, anchor cables or chain, connecting devices, and the anchor windlass.

    Anchor
    An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, that is used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the vessel from drifting due to wind or current.

    Anchor chain
    The chain that attaches an anchor to a vessel. And its made of metal and is composed by dielocks.

    Anchor windlass
    An anchor windlass is a machine that restrains and manipulates the anchor chain and/or rope on a boat, allowing the anchor to be raised and lowered. A notched wheel engages the links of the chain or the rope.

    Capstan
    A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to apply force to ropes, cables, and hawsers. The principle is similar to that of the windlass, which has a horizontal axle.
