Marine Fishing Kayak Yacht Boat Drift Sock Sea Anchor Drogue Brake
Why do we need a Floating Anchor for Liferaft/Kayak?
To hold the bow of the boat towards the weather, which will deter the undesirable constant transverse inclination and the unobstructed entry of water on the deck when the waves break over the tubes, especially in bad weather.
To prevent the boat from being carried away without any resistance by the waves. The floating anchor works as a "brake" and minimizes the movement of the boat, keeping us close to our mark. Also, while in parallel it protects us from a potentially dangerous approach to the rocks when we are close to shore.
Drift Sock with Dump Line, Harness and Buoy Sea Function
To save more time and save lives, we should have a long, thick rope permanently tied to the floating anchor. It can be immediately thrown to the sea and the free end of the rope is tied to a bow cleat.
As soon as the rope is stretched, the floating anchor begins to function, restricting the movement of the boat to the minimum. The cone shape of the floating anchor lets it fill quickly with water which, due to the gradual restriction of its incision, delays its flow in it.
The "enclosed" bulk of water, finding a way out from the smallest opening of the floating anchor, keeps it permanently open and consequently in constant function. The bigger the floating anchor, the more the bulk of water enclosed in it can hold the boat in place.
