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.

The anchor-retrieving system comprises a recovery harness and a lap link. The recovery harness may couple to an anchor via the lap link such that if the anchor becomes fouled the lap link may fail and a trip line of the recovery harness may be operable to recover the anchor by pulling the anchor from a crown of the anchor. The recovery harness may comprise three loops. A first loop may couple to the head of the anchor via the lap link. A second loop, adjacent to the first loop, may couple to an anchor line via rode hardware. The third loop, separated from the others via a trip line that is longer than the shank of the anchor may couple to an aperture in the crown of the anchor.

An adaptor for an anchor including a first member configured for coupling a chain and a hollow second member for pivotally coupling an anchor. The second member defines a longitudinally extending blind slot on an inner surface and a longitudinally extending opening diametrically opposite the blind slot. The blind slot configured to restrict pivoting motion of the anchor within the second member and a swivel coupler for coupling the first member to the second member.
