Question 3550 Deck General

The correct answer is A) It has increased holding power. The single streamlined fluke anchor design provides increased holding power compared to a double fluked anchor of similar weight. This is because the single fluke design allows the anchor to dig deeper into the seabed, creating a stronger grip and better resistance to pulling forces. The streamlined shape also helps the anchor penetrate the substrate more effectively. In contrast, the double fluked design may not achieve as deep a penetration, resulting in slightly less holding power, even though it can hold well in either orientation.
