An anchor system with a bridle substrate and harness configured to attach to an anchor line. An outer bladder surrounds an inner bladder for coupling on top of the bridle substrate. Water enters the anchor system through a water inlet that feeds directly to the inner bladder and fills that first. Water then overflows from the inner bladder to the outer bladder to fill that second. The inner bladder provides stability and is positioned with a majority of its volume closer to an uphill end of the anchor bladder while the outer bladder is positioned with a majority of its volume closer to a downhill end of the anchor bladder. Reinforcement connectors for each bladder resist deformation of the bladders to resist movement of the anchor bladder while filling.
A pulley system for tying a boat to an anchor with a block and tackle assembly and a jammer. The block and tackle assembly has pulleys arranged on a first bracket and a second bracket and a rope strung through each of the pulleys. The jammer is coupled to the first bracket and has a channel and a jammer exit at the end of the channel. The jammer is configured to receive the rope within the channel and pass the rope out of the jammer exit. The channel and the jammer exit are configured to create a tortuous path for the rope through the first bracket. A swivel and a rope clip may be coupled to the block and tackle assembly. The swivel is configured to rotate at least 360 in either direction. The rope clip is configured to allow for quick tightening of the pulley system.

A pulley system for tying a boat to an anchor comprising a block and tackle assembly and a jammer. The block and tackle assembly has a plurality of pulleys arranged on a first bracket and a second bracket, and a first rope strung sequentially through each of the pulleys, ending with a last pulley. The jammer is coupled to the second bracket and has a channel and a jammer exit at the end of the channel. The last pulley, the channel, and the jammer exit are configured to create a tortuous path for the rope through the second bracket. The channel may be misaligned with the last pulley. A swivel and a rope clip may be coupled to the block and tackle assembly. The swivel is configured to rotate at least 360 in either direction. The rope clip is configured to allow for quick tightening of the pulley system.

A laptop computer support adapted to comfortably and conveniently rest on a user's lap, which also forms one piece of a laptop support system including a base configured to support the laptop support. The laptop support may simply rest in an inclined position on a user's lap, or alternatively rest on the associated base in a inclined position without having to physically lock the laptop support to the base portion.
A portable desk (10) for use in home and office environments for comfortably and conveniently supporting a portable computer or other electronic device on the lap or knees of a user. The desk has an upper surface (12) on which the computer rests. The desk is supported on the user's lap by a flexible, bowable support member (44) which is repositionable, thus allowing the user to change the inclination of the desk in order to adjust the viewing angle of the computer screen. A flexible tray (32) for an accessory such as a mouse may be inserted in a slot (36) at either side of the desktop. The tray may be reversibly inserted with a smooth, planar surface or a textured, frictional surface disposed facing upwardly. Ventilation is provided through a transversely recessed convex channel in the upper surface and may also include a small, USB-powered fan to increase heat dissipation. Cable management features (42) may also be provided.
