The invention relates to an anchor comprising a fluke (10), a shank (70) that is connected to the fluke, and a coupling (90) to attach the fluke to an anchor line or anchor chain, wherein the shank comprises two shank legs (71, 72) each having a straight shank plate with an outer surface (80) that extend on the opposite sides of the plane of symmetry (M) of the anchor and that diverge from the coupling towards the fluke (10), wherein the fluke comprises two straight penetration plates (11, 12) with a top surface on the opposite sides of the plane of symmetry (M) of the anchor, wherein the orientation of the outer surfaces with respect to the top surfaces is specified by three angles under narrow ranges to provide excellent penetration properties and an excellent holding capacity.
