Abstract: An anchor in which the flukes pivot on the shank about independent axes wh converge toward the anchor chain end of the shank. Lugs at the base of shank provide for mounting the pivots. The anchor is reversible and has support plates on either side of its base which act as stops to limit the extent that the plate-like flukes can close toward each other as the anchor is set.
