ABSTRACT:
A marine anchor for recreational boats comprising a rotating hub, with a plurality of flukes extending outward, and a substantially right-angle shaped bail member including five bail positions for receiving a slidable shackle of an anchor chain. The first bail to shakle position is the anchored position. The second bail to shackle position allows for a conventional retrieval of the anchor from above the location of the set anchor. An alternate retrieval can result in a third bail to shackle position from an anchored boat position further away from the set anchor. In the second and third positions the flukes are free to rotate enabling the marine anchor to be retrieved. A fourth position of the bail to shackle position is pulling the anchor chain and shackle from the opposite end of the anchor. A fifth position of the bail is a resting position on the bed of the sea floor by releasing the tension of the anchor chain such as during a slack tide to minimize entanglement with other loose anchors or debris.
