ABSTRACT:
An anchor construction wherein two pairs of independently operating flukes are pivotally mounted at one end of an elongated shank. Each fluke of the primary pair of flukes lies on an opposite side of the shank and each fluke of the secondary pair of flukes lies on an opposite side of the primary flukes. Means are provided to simultaneously establish a relatively small angle between the primary flukes and the shank and a relatively large angle between the secondary flukes and the shank. This capability permits the anchor to be used interchangeably in either hard or soft bottom sediments without human intervention to reset fluke angles.
