Abstract: A marine anchor including a main fluke with a shank attached to the fluke. To enable the anchor to orientate on the sea bed from an inverted position to an upright working position, auxiliary flukes are supported by respective lugs upstanding from the fluke on either side of the anchor's vertical plane of symmetry. The auxiliary flukes extend laterally from the lugs and are inclined at an acute angle to the main fluke. The anchor includes support means arranged such that when the anchor lies inverted on a firm seabed one of the auxiliary flukes is located in position for digging in when the anchor is pulled forwardly.
