An offset anchoring system for anchoring objects to a floor of a body of
water includes T-shaped anchor members arranged in a cluster. Each anchor
member having an elongate first and second beams. The second beam, having
longitudinal ends, extends transverse to the first beam. The first beam
being disposable in the floor. The system also includes a coupling member
to which the anchor members being coupled at respective longitudinal ends
such that the substantially T-shaped anchor members are arranged in a
cluster with the coupling member being disposed substantially centrally
of the anchor members and with the second beams extending substantially
radially of the coupling member. When the first beams are driven into the
floor and a load is applied to the coupling member, the load is offset
from a longitudinal axis of each the first beam thereby increasing the
holding power of the anchoring system.
