| Para Anchors and Drogues |
 |
Parachute anchors and drogues are essential items of safety equipment, which should be carried by vessels cruising any distance offshore.
A Para Anchor should provide sufficient power to hold the bow of a vessel head to wind in the worst storm conditions. It is deployed from the bow of the boat and greatly reduces the risk of broaching and capsizing or rolling, thus keeping the boat more comfortable and stable throughout the duration of the heavy weather.
A Para Drogue is deployed from the stern and is designed to vary the speed of a vessel, giving greater control and improved directional stability downwind. It is a modern and more efficient version of a traditional sea anchor.
The Para Drogue can be used in conjunction with the Para Anchor.
