ABSTRACT:
An anchor bag and system for use with a rode and an anchor having an anchor stock, an anchor shank, an anchor crown, and an anchor fluke. The bag has an opening at one end, a closed section at the opposite end, and an inner chamber for accepting, properly coiling, and stowing the rode. The anchor is retained on the outside of anchor bag by a releasable shank support and by a separate fluke support. The opening of the bag is selectably closable by a pull string. The closed section has a reinforced rode passage through which the bitter end of the rode is retained. A plurality of drainage portals are situated on the outer surface of the bag. Carry handles are positioned on the bag such that the composite weight of the anchor bag system (with anchor and rode stowed therein) is distributed equally on either side of the center points of the carry handles. The rode is chainlessly attached to the anchor and, from the anchor end, has internal weights thereon extending a distance of between approximately 2.5% to 12.5% of its total length.
