Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8300126A1] An anchor (10) with a fluke (14) pivotally attached to a standard (12). A latch mechanism (78, 88) controls movement between the fluke (14) and standard (12) and is released upon application of a force in a predetermined direction. The standard (12) is then free to pivot to a position in which the fluke and standard are aligned. This facilitates removal of the fluke (14) from the sea bed. Sprags (96) are provided on the rear of the fluke so that dragging of the anchor (10) along the sea bed causes the fluke (14) to rotate on the standard (12) and be repositioned for engagement with the sea bed. Thus the anchor is able to reset upon tide or wind changes.
