A system for anchoring an offshore vessel to a seabed includes a foundation including a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end along the longitudinal axis of the foundation, a keying-flap assembly including a plurality of flaps coupled to the foundation whereby the plurality of flaps are configured to pivot relative to the foundation about a plurality of rotational axes associated with the plurality of flaps, the keying-flap assembly having a run-in configuration in which each of the plurality of flaps occupies a first position, and a set configuration in which the plurality of flaps are pivoted from their first to occupy a plurality of second positions, and a follower configured to apply an extraction force to the foundation to transition the keying-flap assembly from the run-in configuration to the set configuration.
