Parachute Sea Anchor DVD
Applies to all sailboats, trawlers and multihulls
“The Complete Para-Anchor Set-Up,” the first and only
DVD of its kind, is the perfect tool for learning how
to connect parachute anchors to any sailboat, trawler or
multi-hulled boat. Zack Smith, a noted para-anchor
designer, shares his easy-to-follow formulas for ca lculating
correct bridle and rode lengths that help sailors avoid
common rigging mistakes.
 Live aerial and underwater segments let the audience see
each component individually and in action, so learning
to rig
one’s own gear is simplified. Detailed close-ups
of bridles, chafe protection, deployment techniques,
retrieval methods and sail trim make it easier to choose
what rigging option is best for you.
Smith even taped segments during gale-force winds to
demonstrate deployment of para-anchors during a storm.
And, because loud storms make communication between
crewmembers nearly impossible, Smith developed a series
of hand signals designed to eliminate mistakes
associated with miscommunication.
Emergency response teams, the military, weekend sailors
and long-range cruisers already use Smith’s custom
parachute designs. Smith also co-developed the popular
Para-Ring® that was recently awarded several
international patents. A longtime boat owner and
lifelong sailor, Smith continues to evaluate
heavy-weather safety equipment. He is currently testing
an unsinkable lifeboat and parachute system for a
Portland, Maine company.
The
video applies to all brand name anchors. Boaters
can purchase the video by calling (800) 777-0732 or by
visiting an authorized bookstore or marine store in
their area. The video is priced at $29.95 and is
available in DVD and VHS formats.
