223. What is the purpose of a devil's claw?
A devil's claw secures the anchor chain, acting as a chain stopper and relieving load from the windlass. It does not prevent chain fouling, control the windlass engagement or wildcat, or organize the chain on deck; its sole purpose is to hold the chain under tension.
