Anchor (1) of the plough type has shank (9) fixed to main triangular fluke (2) and has semi-circular hoop or bail (13) to assist in righting it should it not land upright. Attached to shank (9) and bail (13) is secondary fluke (20) that is also triangular and parallel to main fluke (2). Smaller fluke (20) enhances holding power when anchor (1) is buried deep in sand, acts to prevent mud, weeds, etc being caught on bail (13) or shank (9), and, if anchor (1) is dragged upside down, fluke (20) pushes mud forward assisting in lifting and turning anchor (1) to the correct orientation. |
