ABSTRACT:
A device for unhooking a main anchor chain (4) from the shank (7) of an anchor (2) makes it possible to release anchor. An elongated plate (10) has one end adpated to receive the last link of the anchor chain (4). The other end of plate (10) has an opening (15) for receiving a shackle (15) on the anchor. A second plate (16) has a finger (17) that covers opening (15) thus making possible the hooking and unhooking of the shackle (6). A tube (29) dropped from the boat runs freely over the main anchor chain (4) to pivot the plates and uncover opening 15. This releases the shackle and therefore the anchor, so that it may be unsnagged.
