Size 3 Sea Anchor
The sea anchor is also called a drogue and is part of the boat's necessary safety equipment, it is used to slow down your boat or life raft when you are found in strong winds or heavy seas. Moreover it will stop your boat and turn it so as to face into or away from the waves. A sea anchor can also be used as means to keep your boat as stationary as possible and not be pushed by the wind and can be very useful when fishing, swimming or in waters that are too deep to anchor.
Made of strong coated PVC and open at both ends, it includes webbing inside for added strength that creates two loops at the front and one at the end. The sea anchor is tied to the boat's bow with the use of a rope which must be at least five times the boat's length, the rope is passed through the two loops of the drogue's front lines creating a tight knot.The larger the size of of your drogue the bigger its effectiveness will be. In order to pull the drogue out, you should tie a second rope at the end of the drogue and pull the drogue out when it is no longer needed.
