ABSTRACT:
A fixed shank plow anchor includes a weighted nose having a spike incorporated into it to enhance deployment of the anchor on the sea bed. The center of gravity of the anchor is situated within the shank so that when the anchor drops onto a sea bed, and force is applied to the end of the shank in a forward direction, an overturning moment is created facilitating digging of the nose of the anchor into the sea bed. The anchor is self-launching.
