ABSTRACT:
An anchor having release capabilities including a cylindrical housing having a plurality of equidistantly spaced vertical slots therein. A central post slidably extends through the cylindrical housing. Free ends of the central post have cable eyes disposed thereon. A plurality of pivoting prongs extend inwardly of the plurality of vertical slots of the cylindrical housing for pivotal securement to the central post. A main line has a free end secured to one of the cable eyes of the central post. An opposing free end of the main line is adapted for coupling to a boat. A secondary line has a first end coupled to one of the cable eyes of the central post opposed from the main line. A second end of the secondary monofilament line is secured to the main line. Once ample force is applied, the secondary line will brake thereby releasing the central post. The central post will then slide down causing the prongs to retract within the recesses thereby releasing the anchor from an obstruction.
