Description
Octochute Sea Drift Anchor - Sea Parachute
The Octochute Sea Drift Anchor (Sea Anchor) is a parachute-style device deployed in the water to slow and control a boat’s drift. Instead of anchoring to the seabed, it uses water resistance to stabilise the vessel in deep water.
- The device opens like an underwater parachute when deployed.
- Water resistance creates drag, slowing the boat’s movement.
- This keeps the bow facing into wind and waves, improving stability and safety.
- Packs into a soft storage bag, making it easy to stow onboard.
Typical uses
- Offshore fishing boats controlling drift
- Emergency stabilization in storms
- Holding a vessel in deep water where a normal anchor cannot reach
This Octochute Sea Anchor will aid you in deep water fishing, holding your position.
Not for use on yachts.
