How does a fluke-style anchor hold a pleasure craft in place?

A fluke-style anchor holds a pleasure craft in place by using its pointed flukes to penetrate the seabed, creating a secure grip. As the boat pulls against the anchor, the flukes dig deeper into the substrate, increasing resistance. The design allows it to effectively set in various types of bottoms, such as sand or mud, and its lightweight construction makes it easy to deploy and retrieve. This combination of features ensures stability and prevents the anchor from dragging under normal conditions.
