Bent anchor fluke.

Quenching would require a container the size of a hot tub. I should have got Mrs M to sit on it to give an idea of size…. It was BIG!

Sure the water nearby would be a big enough bath.

Am I right in thinking this anchor is not yours, but thinking it could be a massive freebe.

Early bath for me then.

Eureka!

It’s left on the Marina quayside as an article of interest. (In other words they didn’t know what else to do with it. )

A big bucket of water chucked on it would work

There's the sea right next to it. Is that big enough ???

Great idea. If you want it and can organise crane, heat source and do a deal with the Marina for their decoration, it’s yours.

Ask Uri Geller to sort it. Sell tickets and make off with the proceeds before he tries....

I think they had the right management plan .

Stick to my idea...a portable generator, arc welder and a grinder can all be brought to the job (mind you, unless you can winch it to your boat there isn’t much point in repairing it)
I would cut the shank close to the anchor (that weld has held so it’s probably still good)...leave about an inch of shank sticking out...grind an aggressive chamfer on the remaining shank stub. Cut the twisted part of the shank off...cut the angle carefully so it can be realigned without affecting the holding power...chamfer the end...tack weld the two parts together and check alignment...using the biggest welding rods, weld the two parts together...do it slowly and methodically...after each weld, clean off the slag and clean with a wire brush....use loads of welds...but slowly. At the end it will be stronger than original and if you want, you can dress the welds and paint it...no one will ever know

I think if I had done all that I would want everyone to know! Except my insurance company...

Then X-ray or ultrasonic?

Just drop it in the sea during a storm…your boat will do a handbrake turn
