A lightweight anchor for small boats and a method of making the same. The anchor includes a protective coating. The anchor also includes a release mechanism. The primary release mechanism is provided by flexible tines. The flexible tines make the anchor adaptable to work in various conditions, such as rocky bottoms, reefs, or other similar conditions. The flexible tines also make the anchor easily retrievable. If the tines are bent during retrieval, the tines may be readily returned to their operative configuration.
