Flat projection on the arm of an anchor (5)

I believe the answer is:

fluke

(Other definitions for fluke that I've seen before include "flounder" , "part of whale" , "Accidental stroke of good luck, or part of whale's tail" , "Lucky break" , "Lucky chance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
