Abstract
A collapsible boat anchor (12) comprising four side panels (13, 13a, 13b and 13c) each hingeably connected to the next as to form a square. To the forward and rearward side panels (13 and 13b) respectively are affixed a plurality of flukes (14 through 20a) arranged in upper and lower configuration as to allow the anchor (12) to set on whichever side it may fall. Moveable attached to the inside of the anchor at forward side panel (13) and right side panel (13c) is a center stabilizing bar (30). The center stabilizing bar (30) secures the anchor in an open and locked position while engaged, but facilitates collapse of the anchor for storage while disengaged. To provide a tie-off location for an anchor line, a lead arm (28) is pivotably affixed to the anchor at a anchor pull ring (26).
