Ancre à Jas
Ancre classique utilisée autrefois, formée d’une verge, de deux pattes et d'un jas (barre transversale) dans un plan perpendiculaire à celui des pattes, qui force celles-ci à se positionner verticalement et donc à une des pattes à s’enfoncer dans le substrat. Ce modèle est pratiquement abandonné aujourd’hui à cause de son encombrement, de son poids et des difficultés à la manier.

Translated from the above noted text:
Stock anchor
Classic anchor formerly used, consisting of a rod, two legs and a jas (crossbar) in a plane perpendicular to that of the legs, which forces them to position themselves vertically and therefore to allow one of the legs to sink into the substrate. This model is practically abandoned today because of its size, its weight and the difficulties in handling it.
