maximum engagement with the chainwheel. On VWC types a vertical drum allows
working of mooring or docking lines from any direction.
A clutch allows manual control for lowering the anchor under free fall and manual
override when using the emergency crank. The clutch also allows independent
operation of the drum on VWC types.
