The invention provides an improved anchor cable and weight system in which at least two separate weights are interconnected with a length of cable for the purpose of securing a floating structure to an anchoring ground. Each weight has a predetermined cross-sectional dimension and a spindle axially disposed therein for securing an anchor cable thereto. The anchor cable interconnecting two adjacent weights has a length selected to be no greater than the predetermined cross-sectional dimension of the weight. Additionally, two alternative embodiments of the anchor weight are also described herein.
