You may operate gypsy and capstan separately by loosening
the nut on the gypsy, until the clutch and the gypsy
disengaged and the windlass drive shaft will drive only the
capstan.

Before release the gypsy clutch you need to secure
the anchor chain/rope. Once the gypsy clutch released the gypsy
may free spin and cause the anchor fall.
