Abstract
An anchor with pivoted flukes and a track upon which an anchor line is slidably connected to the anchor has a pair of fluke drivers adjacent the flukes which produce a significant included angle of the flukes with respect to the bed of a body of water. This included angle of the flukes enables them to rapidly penetrate and set in a bed of a body of water even under hard pan bed conditions. Typically, the anchor sets into the bed of a body of water within ten feet of anchor movement relative to the bed.
