Drift anchor
Submitted by Jc85 on Tue, 2012-04-17 17:17
Hey guys
Looking at buying a drift anchor for a 26ft fiberglass boat. I have a parachute material one ATM of my old Allie. Prob not big enough.
I have seen the ones made out of tarp material but don't think they hold as well
Anyone have any ideas what I may need
Cheers

If Ryan from oceanside still
If Ryan from oceanside still has some custom made ones go see him
by FAR the best sea anchor I've seen and cannot speak more highly of them. Definitely worth the chat to Ryan

make your own
get a garden bag or one of those big alumina bags from alcoa tie some rope on and a tail rope cut a small hole in the centre and your away!

Another vote for the silky
Another vote for the silky one from ocean side. tell ryan what size boat and he'll get it made to suit if he doesn't have shelf stock.
Had mine three years and still going strong...

Large sea anchor
Thanks guys, Ryan has a heavy 23ft F/G boat and uses the Silk and pulls up his boat nicely. Even better it opens up quickly and both sea anchors below will be very suitable.
