A gliding anchor for mooring a vessel includes a central shank having a weighted forward end and a blade hinged to said shank. The blade is hinged to the shank by means of a pantographic linkage, the rear link being longer than the forward link to provide downward inclination of the blade when in its open position. The blade is provided with a pair of upswept wings extending on either side of the shank which serve to cause the anchor to glide when the blade is deployed in a first position wherein its longitudinal axis lies parallel to that of the shank. These wings are deployed as bottom engaging flukes when the blade is rotated downwards about the hinge to a second open position by a force being applied to the anchor line attached to the rear of the shank. |
