Claim:
A device for anchoring a boat, comprising: a multi part anchor line formed from a plurality of sections having a loop at each end thereof, each of the plurality of sections being directly connected to an adjacent one of the plurality of sections, the multi part anchor line forming a direct connection, via the plurality of sections, between the boat and an anchor; a lead line having a first end and a second end; a first hook attached to the first end of the lead line, the first hook attached to a bow eye of the boat when the device is operated to anchor the boat; and a second hook attached to the second end of the lead line, the second hook releasably attached to one of the loops disposed along a span of the anchor line when the device is operated to anchor a boat; wherein, when the anchor is used to anchor the boat, the anchor line secures the boat via a taut lead line and the anchor line, thus effectively anchoring the boat from the bow eye without having to directly attach the anchor line to the bow eye.
