Abstract

A system for anchoring a floating object (e.g., watercraft) to the terrain forming of a body of water (e.g., bottom of lake). More particularly, the system provides an anchoring system that allows a rigid support structure to be configured between the anchor point and the watercraft, thereby fixing the watercraft in a constant position.

Claims (12)

1. An anchor system comprising:

an anchor assembly;

wherein the anchor assembly includes a cork screw assembly;

at least one rigid support member; and

at least one clamp for attaching the at least one rigid support member to a watercraft; wherein the at least one clamp includes:

a boat clamp mechanism for attaching to the watercraft;

a support member clamp mechanism for attaching to the at least one rigid support member; and

a heim joint structured between the boat clamp mechanism and the support member clamp mechanism;

wherein the anchor system substantially prevents the watercraft from moving up or down along the Z axis at the point of attachment of the anchor assembly to the watercraft.

2. The anchor system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a detachable T-handle.

3. The anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one clamp is structured to clamp around the gunwale of the watercraft.
