Pushing the limit of seamanship can easily lead to mistakes that leave you floating helplessly and your crew shouting for help. Protect your investment. Keep changing winds, sea conditions, mechanical breakdowns, exhaustion, fatigue, illness or just the "unexpected" from taking your boat and crew by surprise. Take the helm and deploy a Fiorentino Para-Anchor before that rogue wave makes the choice for you!
Fiorentino para-anchors are best known for stabilizing a boat during storm conditions, but there are plenty of good reasons to stow one onboard every time you leave port...
Rated Number One by Practical Sailor!
"Sea anchors have evolved to become a vital component of the serious sailor's arsenal in heavy weather. We tested models...and favor Fiorentino's...These are
top-of-the-line sea anchors, well built... their more rugged construction will enable them to endure Neptune's savage moods..." - Practical Sailor.
Rated "The Best" by Sail Magazine in a parachute sea anchor comparison
"...After we had done our research, we selected a 12' Fiorentino Para Anchor. It met our cost, weight and storage requirements, and we liked the design of the hardware, the materials and the construction methods used in the canopy."

Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted shroud lines
"Fiorentino's Offshore Anchor includes the world's first anchor stabilizer. The Para-RingŪ is the first device to allow a parachute canopy to self adjust in heavy seas and strong ocean currents. Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted shroud lines"
