ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for releasably mooring a marine vessel. An elongate anchor stem terminates at opposing ends with a swiveling connector assembly adapted for attachment to a boat anchor line and a fluke assembly. The fluke assembly includes a base plate with a plurality of curved anchor arms extending radially outwards therefrom, each terminating in a fluke. Each fluke defines a pair of opposing projections adapted to matingly engage a link of a connecting chain attached to one end of the stem and comprising a portion of the connector assembly. Upon such mating engagement a bridle is formed, whereupon exertion of upward force on the anchor line causes the anchor to more readily disengage from the floor of the water body and/or any foreign objects.
