This invention relates to a stockless twin-fluked anchor. The most frequently used anchor on commercial and pleasure boats today is the lightweight or twin-fluked anchor which requires a long stock to ensure that the anchor lies flat on the bottom and both flukes engage the bottom simultaneously. The long stock makes this type of anchor difficult to handle and stowe. In this invention the flukes are shaped so that the anchor will always lie flat on the bottom and both flukes will engage the bottom simultaneously without the need for a stock. In prior art anchors, the crown assembly is attached to the flukes and the stock, and limit the rotation of the flukes relative to the shank, and elevates the aft of the anchor so that the flukes are downward pointing. In this invention the crown assembly is part of the shank, and engaging both flukes simultaneously to limit the rotation of the shank and elevating the aft of the anchor.
