ABSTRACT:
Anchor apparatus for use in various seabed conditions includes a fluke to which is secured a pair of shanks, a main shank and a retrieval shank, and a wedge having a cutting edge is secured between the fluke and the main shank. A burying plate with cutting edges is removably secured to the fluke. At the outer edge of the burying plate, remote from the fluke, there is a float to help insure that the anchor apparatus remains in an upward or predetermined orientation as it moves downwardly through the water and sets in the seabed. A handle may be secured to the burying plate to help in the manual operation of the anchor apparatus or in the movement of the burying plate as it is removed from the fluke. The anchor apparatus includes two shanks, a main shank and a retrieval shank. Anchor line or chain is secured to the retrieval shank.
