May just be to keep the brake from slipping or to prevent wear & tear on the windlass...not my style for retaining the anchor..
or it was just for looks/picture

It's a rope until we know its purpose.

Rick,
The Kirki , brings back some bad memories on the Aussie Coast.
Changed a lot of survey requirements down here, foreign ships(especially doggy ones) started to dread AMSA and visiting Australia

The deck seems so poorly designed that there is no chain stopper ,
so against the Mfg advice I guess they use the windlass to tie off the chain.
This is really crap,design and construction in a big ticket boat.
