Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a lifeboat sea anchor?

A lifeboat sea anchor is deployed from the bow to reduce drifting speed and keep the boat head-to-wind in heavy seas. It prevents the lifeboat from being swamped by breaking waves and improves stability for survivors.

Is this sea anchor compliant with international regulations?

Yes, our sea anchor is designed to meet the requirements of the International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code under SOLAS. It is suitable for use on all SOLAS-certified lifeboats.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the sea anchor itself, a 30 m (98 ft) shock-absorbing anchor line, a 15 m (49 ft) anti-capsizing trip line, and a convenient storage bag for compact stowage.

How do I deploy the sea anchor?

Attach the anchor line to the lifeboat's bow fitting, throw the sea anchor overboard, and allow it to inflate and create drag. The trip line is used to retrieve the anchor and, if necessary, to collapse it quickly in emergency situations.
