ANCHOR ASSIST DEVICES

Devils claw
  • A stretching screw with two heavy hooks or claws.
  • It is used to secure the anchor in the hawse pipe.
Riding chock:
A securing device to hold the anchor and cable in its stowed condition.
Wildcat
A wildcat is a sprocket-like device that handles chain. 
Some people also refer to it as a chain gypsy. 
If you plan to use more than a few feet of chain or plan to add chain in the future, a wildcat is a necessity. 
Most vessels that intend to do more than daytime anchoring will need a windlass with a wildcat.
