ABSTRACT:
A handling and storage device for a swivel-fluke-type marine anchor comprises an interrelated shank-receiving boom and fluke-receiving guide both being rotatable with parallel axes of rotation. When the shank of the anchor is held in position by the shank-receiving boom, the fluke-receiving guide receives and folds the anchor into an essentially planar position. In a preferred embodiment suitable for overhanging sides and transoms, the axes of rotation of both the shank-receiving boom and the fluke-receiving guide is the same. In another preferred embodiment suitable for vertical or receding sides and transoms the axes are separate but parallel, and the axis of the boom is on a frame which is also rotatable and which holds the boom away from the side or transom when in the receiving position.
