Anchor fluke (1) having a hollow plate-shaped body, with attachment means for a shank and/or anchor lines, with longitudinal axis and a front penetration edge (3) and a rear trailing edge (4), which are located at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the fluke has a place of symmerty that contains the longitudinal axis and is substantially perpendicular to the plate-shaped body,wherein the hollow plate-shaped body comprises an upper surface (2a) with a centre of gravity and a lower surface (2b) which surfaces are bounded by the penetration edge, the trailing edges and the lateral edges (5a, 5b) and wherein said body, at lower side, substantially between the edges, is provided with means belonging to the lower surface for counteracting a rolling movement about the longitudinal axis during penetration of the anchor fluke in an anchorage ground, and with vertical trailing edges (13a, 13b) for counteracting a yawning movement about an axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is located in the plane of symmetry during penetration in an anchorage ground.
Anchor fluke having a hollow plate-shaped body, with attachment means for a shank and/or anchor lines, with a longitudinal axis and a front penetration edge and a rear trailing edge, which are located at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the fluke has a plane of symmetry that contains the longitudinal axis and is substantially perpendicular to the plate-shaped body, wherein the hollow plate-shaped body comprises an upper surface with a centre of area and a lower surface, which surfaces are bounded by the penetration edge, the trailing edge and lateral edges, and wherein said body, at the lower side, substantially between the edges, is provided with means for counteracting a rolling movement about the longitudinal axis during penetration of the anchor fluke in an anchorage ground and with means for counteracting a yawing movement about an axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is located in the plane of symmetry during penetration in an anchorage ground.
