An anchor system for quick release from snagging comprising a connection means to a vessel, an anchor member for engaging an environmental element, the anchor member including at least one or more flukes to engage said environmental element, limiting means for limiting pivoting movement of the flukes, the limiting means including at least one fixable formation for rotation relative to the connection means, the fixable formation is securable to the connection means by a frangible fastener, a limiting formation connected to the anchor member to rotate with the anchor member relative to the connection means and the fixable formation wherein when at least one fluke is snagged on an environmental element in use, and tension is increased on the connection means, the limiting formation will be caused to bear onto the fixable formation to cause the failure of the frangible fastener, thereby free the fixable formation to a released condition.
