G.2 - Raising the anchor.
 Start raising the anchor
 Check the chain is being stored correctly into the compartment to avoid a chain jam
 Raise the anchor up to the bridle snapshackle, remove the bridle snapshackle and
attach it to its hoist.
 Raise the anchor slowly, ensuring that it is positioned correctly in the davit.
 Secure the chain with the chain hoist provided.
 When raising the anchor, it is advisable to use the engines in such a way as to guide
the craft towards the chain: this will avoid overloading the windlass and the davit
During operation, stay away from the windlass and chain.
