I could do with your help Brian. I don't even know what they are called but the thingies that the anchor chains go over/through with a handwheel as the chains come up through the deck before going to the winch. Any pictures would be mucho appreciated if you get time  :-)

I think they are just referred to as chain stops Andy, then the chain goes over the gypsy on the windless, here are a couple of photos showing the ones i made for my Maltby.

Hello Andy,
 I was even closer as there called cable stops as the chain from the Anchor is called a cable. please keep on posting Andy as am really enjoying your build your such a skilled modeller you and chip make me jealous.
                  Regards Howard.

So in real life the anchor can be dropped, then held on the anchor windlass gypsy brake band to see if the anchor is firmly embedded, then the brake released & under hydraulic of DC/MG sets with the anchor chain is inched as necessary to have the chain stopper engaged in the next interleaving chain link & locked, then the brake band retightened


The windlass power shut down with the vessel is resting on the anchor + chain as locked in by the chain stopper


The brake bands are left in the tightened position......this serves two purposed, firstly to maintain tension by friction but also to minimise corrosion to the brake [usually ductile cast iron] drum


The design strength of chain stoppers is not 'generally' intended for holding the vessel in extreme weather, where the vessel would hopefully move our from such sea conditions


[Many years ago, I inspected the failed chain stoppers from a [light ship] 100,000 tonner when she was caught in a cyclone off Pt Headland  .....the stopper structure ripped from their mountings in the instant when the hydraulic brakes were released for the anchor windlass, in the attempt to disengage the stoppers]


So the excellent looking brass fabricated stoppers for the Maltby perform and do exact same function [but smaller size & smaller scale]

My apologies Howard full marks  O0


Thank you for that detailed explanation of their use in practice Derek  :-)


Merci beaucoup Marco, très bien.

Apologies, when I re-read this this morning [in the light of day] I realised one crucial point  :D


It is usual when hauling the anchor into the hawser until a enormous clunk or groan is heard  >>:-( .....the hydraulic relief valve also contributes to the symphony of sound with a screech


So then, the action is repeated by inching out the anchor chain until the next link of the chain can be locked ......from there, engage the brake band manually and shut the system down


The anchor weight is then supported by the chain stopper ....so on vessels large and smaller, the chain stopper also stops the anchor from repeatedly hammering into the hull in even moderate sea state

So we all know how a windless and anchor cable stop works know.  :}

Bit OT but an interesting read (I only knew of them as chain stoppers).  You sometimes also see an additional hold back to a padeye on deck mentioned here when the anchors fully stowed...


http://shipsbusiness.com/anchoring.html

I've often seen a sliding cover at the top of the hawse pipe so deck crew don't trip down the opening.  Crafting eyelets or those little eyelets with servo kits make quite convincing openings to the hawse pipes as well and you can block the bottom of them with a punched disc of polystyrene or soldered brass to save running a full pipe.

As Chip says.......'So we all know now'..... well no Chip,  :D ... we still have 3 pages of using the Chain Stopper to allow the complete anchor chain be held & layered over the foredeck to allow for Classification Societies Survey......how are you with the chipping hammer?  {-)


The article from RST appears quite factual and explains more than I have missed, however with a few glaring errors...


1. it refers to the Chief Officer.........International Conventions confirm there are only two [2] members of the Crew with the Title of Chief.........the Chief Steward and the Chief Engineer...Deck Officers are the Captain, the First Officer & so on...


2. "Once the planned length of the chain is in the water, the guillotine bar should be dropped and secured, and the chain allowed to bear against the guillotine bar. The guillotine bar is designed to take the weight of the anchor cable.......this is incorrect as it fails to state and ensure the windlass brake drum is set or tensioned.......

Morning all,
 The covers at the top of the hawse pipes have more to do with stopping water from a bow wave coming up and flooding the deck then stopping the crew tripping  they are always closed unless lifting or dropping the anchor cable.

I wasn't being rude Brian what I meant was was Andy was a modeler I now like to watch his builds as much as yours as I learn so much from you two.

Hi Howard,


Yes, gosh you're right, I'm forgetting lots these days -too much time spent onshore.


Andy,


Thanks for keeping posting.  Am always impressed at rate of build!  That crane looks great, it doesn't look to have been too fiddly or delicate details in polystyrene moulds either?
