For centuries, heaving to has been a storm tactic used to knock down violent waves with a calm, smooth slick of water that is created by the hull of a boat. As
sea states worsen, a parachute anchor
will help maintain a sailboat in a heave
to position. Most sailboats caught in extreme weather will need to use a pendant line to form a bridle.  Fiorentino's adjustable pendant line is custom rigged to fit your individual boat. This provides you with the opportunity to find the most comfortable hove to position for your boat.   

Pendent Line Includes:

• U.S. Manufactured Snatch Block
• Two Custom Sized Support Floats
• Custom Sized Stiff Dacron/Nylon
  Double Braid Line
• Stainless Steel Thimble (Served)

Rigging Options:

Safety Whipping:  $32.00
Fiorentino's commercial rigging method is considered superior by independent experts, because it can’t come apart. Our own master rigger meticulously hand serves 15 feet of nylon over the vulnerable, unprotected splice. This time-consuming process protects the splice against chafe and snags during heavy weather deployment or commercial use.  

StormRap™ Protection:  $40.00
Fiorentino's exclusive factory process tightens nylon rode to prevent chafe. Spliced rode is shrunk wrapped into the eye of the thimble to help insure the tightest possible fit. Soft rode eyes never part, creating a safer, tighter fit. Recommended for heavy weather deployment or commercial use. 

Fiorentino Pendant Lines includes all parts and labor. Some boat specs required.  For price quote call 949-631-2336 or send us an e-mail: info@para-anchor.com  Fiorentino Pendant Lines are also available thru authorized dealers.    r
