Nautical Term: Chain locker pipe
Definition of Chain locker pipe
The chain locker pipe is an iron-bound opening or section of pipe, which serves as a connection from the chain locker to the deck. This pipe allows the chain cable to pass through, securing the boat to the dock.
For example, imagine a sailboat that’s docked at a marina. The sailor wants to secure the boat to the dock using the chain locker and anchor. The sailor attaches the chain to the anchor and passes it through the chain locker pipe. Once the chain is on the deck, the sailor can secure it to the dock with a shackle and cleat.
