  Sea parachutes and drogues    
 


RFD distributes a range of sea parachutes and drogues. Most boat owners will have the necessary safety equipment on board in case of an emergency, e.g. lifejackets, liferafts, flares, EPIRBs, etc. Along with these, sea parachutes and drogues should also be considered equally important.

   
  Para drogue
Para drogue
  • Based on parachute technology utilises two different cut and closely coupled parachute sea anchors
  • Design creates a very high drag and consequent pressure wave
  • Maintains even and positive drag on the stern of a vessel
  • Simple, adjustable vent that can be pre-tensioned to vary the load
  • Stows in a shoebox sized locker
 
     
  Para sea anchors  
  For survival at sea, we strongly recommend using a Para anchor. A parachute sea anchor is the only device available that is capable of holding your bow to the wind, allowing you the safest and most comfortable position to ride out any storm.
