How to answer this question.....I don't "tie my anchor off" after raising it......per say. I let the windlass carry the weight, BUT, I do have a safety lanyard attached to the chain, then secured to the cleat on the bow. If the windlass failed the lanyard would keep the anchor from dropping. Also there is a latch on the windlass that can be engaged that would revent the drum from turning.
Hopefully you can visualize this.
