Abstract

See full text

A lightweight anchor, with its upward-bent tail fin, big-notched fluke and a shank of steel bar bent into a U shape, together with its entire shape, has a great hold of the bottom. The anchor when stuck in a bottom obstacle can be recovered from the bottom simply by moving the ship of its user to the opposite position of its mooring and giving a tug or two to its anchor rope. Because it is simply structured and easy of fabrication with immovable fluke, tail fin and shank, it reduces the cost of fabrication and enhances safety of handling. It avoids most of the demerits of conventional lightweight anchors by its simple structure and its peculiar shape, but its position-correcting mechanism is most remarkable.
