ABSTRACT:
An anchor includes a fluke attached to a shank having a forwardly located cable attachment point. The fluke includes concave side surfaces, and these side surfaces can serve to orientate the anchor to an upright burial position by interaction with the sea bed and to stabilize the anchor when buried in the sea bed. The fluke side surfaces are also arranged, either by relative orientation thereof or by the inclusion of a flat fluke portion interconnecting the side surfaces, such that, when the anchor is pulled through the sea bed, the peak pressure focus zone produced by the sea bed soil on interaction of the fluke with the soil is located clear of the shank and clear of the forward path of burial movement of the shank.
