PARA-TECH 15 FOOT SEA ANCHOR w TRIP LINE & INSTRUCTIONS
The Para-Tech 15-foot sea anchor is a high-strength nylon parachute-style device designed for boats 30-40 ft (up to 25,000 lbs) to control drift, aid in fishing, or provide stability during storms. It reduces drift by up to 90%, comes with a deployment bag, heavy-duty shackle, and float line, and is deployed from the bow.
Key Features and Setup:
Dimensions: 15-foot diameter designed for significant drag in heavy weather.
Components: Includes a deployment stowage bag, heavy-duty shackle, and a float line.
Trip Line: A critical, often separate, component used to collapse the parachute for easier retrieval.
Deployment: The anchor, with a float line, is tossed from the windward side, allowing the boat to drift back while paying out the rode.
Best Use: Used to hold the bow into the wind to prevent broaching or capsize in rough seas.
Deployment Instructions (Summary):
Preparation: Secure all items on board and lower sails.
Positioning: Head into the weather to stall the boat.
Deployment: Toss the trip line, float line, and sea anchor into the water on the windward side, followed by the rode.
Drift: Allow the boat to drift back, paying out the required scope (10-15 times the boat length is recommended).
Securing: Make fast the rode, ensure proper chafe gear is used, and secure the rudder amidships.
Crucial Notes:
Chafe Gear: Essential to prevent the rode from breaking.
Rode Type: Use nylon for natural elasticity (stretch).
Retrieval: Use the trip line to pull the apex of the parachute, causing it to collapse.
Safety: Always maintain a watch while at sea anchor.
