An anchor for mooring a vessel to a mooring bed includes at least one fluke attached to a shank part of the anchor and inclined relative thereto to cause penetration of the anchor into the mooring bed on horizontal movement of the anchor. Stabilizer fin (or fins) is mounted on an extension of the shank part and spaced from the fluke such that, on penetration of the anchor into the bed, any pivoting of the shank part to decrease the angle of attack of the fluke relative to the bed is counteracted. Also, the anchor-cable may include at least one fin device adjacent the anchor, the fin of the device being inclined such that burial forces are produced by the device to counteract the vertical penetration resistance of the adjacent cable and to constrain the buried portion of the cable to depart from the usual catenoidal configuration and adopt a linear or adverse curvature configuration.
