A common experience for boat owners is to lose anchors, particularly when anchored next to structure, wrecks, sunken debris, tree roots, rocks or other obstacles that are likely to become firmly engaged, holding the flukes of an anchor. Attempts to release the anchor by maneuvering the boat or by the manipulation of the anchor line often prove futile and succeed only in increasing the entanglement of the anchor. Ultimately it may lead to anchor loss or even loss of life of those on board the boat. This fluke style anchor mechanism design was invented by research and development through which the inventor created the Radial Arm Double Shank Split Crown Self-Releasing Mechanism Anchor providing a superior, safer, practical and economical solution to overcome the aforementioned problems of past art devices referenced herein or exhibited within this document shown in exhibits; Description of the Prior Art or Patent Citations and Searches.

An anchoring device may be arranged above or below a body of water and may secure or anchor watercraft to at least one vertical object and/or horizontally-positioned object. The anchoring device may provide a clamping mechanism that may secure the anchoring device to the at least one vertical object and/or horizontally-positioned object. The anchoring device may be integrated or fixed to watercraft, such as at a seat pedestal. The anchoring device also may be used without being integrated or fixed to watercraft.

The present disclosure relates to water vessels with a bow-mounted detecting system and methods for monitoring movement of an anchor at a bow of a water vessel. More particularly, a water vessel as disclosed herein can include an anchor apparatus positioned in or on a hull of the water vessel at about a bow thereof, a detecting positioned in or on the hull of the water vessel at about the bow thereof and having a forward-directed field-of-view, and a display device adapted to receive from the detecting device and display one or more captured images of the forward scene. A method as disclosed herein can comprise providing a water vessel as disclosed herein, activating the display device to display the one or more captured images, and activating the anchor apparatus so as to cause motorized deployment or retrieval of an anchor. The water vessel can particularly provide for real-time monitoring of deploying and/or retrieving an anchor using the detecting device and the display device.

This invention relates to a multi-purpose, eco-safe bag for your gear which can be used interchangeably as a sand anchor to keep your stand up paddle board, kayak, or raft anchored in position while you are snorkeling, fishing, doing yoga, or just relaxing and hanging out in the water. Fill The SUPSAC with beach sand and attach to a leash or any length of rope to secure. The SUPSAC may also be used to secure beach umbrellas or canopies. This product is easily transportable at approximately 14 inches by 11 inches, light weight and multi-purpose. This product has no sharp blade type pieces which could harm the ocean environment, sea life, or another person. This product will not get hooked onto seagrass, corals or stuck on rocks as a claw type anchor would therefore making it an eco-safe product. When finished, simply empty the sand back into the water, returning it to its natural environment, re-pack your gear inside the canvas bag and continue on your paddle adventures.

An anchor for a watercraft comprising a shank and at least one prong adapted for attachment to the shank, wherein the anchor for a watercraft also comprises at least one weakened connection configured to release the at least one prong from the shank when a load on the at least one prong exceeds a predetermined threshold.

An anchor system with a bridle substrate and harness configured to attach to an anchor line. An outer bladder surrounds an inner bladder for coupling on top of the bridle substrate. Water enters the anchor system through a water inlet that feeds directly to the inner bladder and fills that first. Water then overflows from the inner bladder to the outer bladder to fill that second. The inner bladder provides stability and is positioned with a majority of its volume closer to an uphill end of the anchor bladder while the outer bladder is positioned with a majority of its volume closer to a downhill end of the anchor bladder. Reinforcement connectors for each bladder resist deformation of the bladders to resist movement of the anchor bladder while filling.
