ABSTRACT:
A process of forming a boat anchor is set forth including utilizing a polymeric carbonate beverage container of a typical two liter configuration defined by an elongate cylindrical body with convex ends and a threaded opening coaxially aligned with an upper end and a removably mounted support stand. The support stand is removed from the container whereupon the container is subsequently filled with a concrete mixture. An eye hook is directed through the opening and upon the concrete mixture curing, a typically ten pound anchor is developed. Modifications of the instant invention include the step of threadedly directed a threaded eye hook through a bottom end of the anchor opposed to the upper eye hook with the eye hooks coaxially aligned with one another to enable a plurality of anchors to be secured together in end to end relationship. Yet another modification utilizes an elongate plate with an orthogonally directed threaded boss threadedly directed through and coaxially aligned with the upper eye hook for forming an anchor that may imbed itself within a bottom surface to prevent shifting of the anchor during rolling seas. A still further modification of the instant invention utilizes the additional step of directing laterally positioned eye hooks orthogonally relative to the axis of the container in addition to a bottom eye hook to enable securement of the anchors in various patterns.
