G'day everyone, just going through through the motions of getting the old man a new sea anchor for his birthday. It seems to me from recent A/F posts and a bit of research that the true paraanchors are the best style in terms of slowing the drift. However they are a bit more complicated than your average drogue or seabrake. Just want to hear from those who have used a true paraanchor in relation the the below thanks.
1. When you start the drift do you just chuck em out the back and they "self deploy" as a drogue does or is there some buggering around involved to get them operating as they should? How do you deploy them etc.
2. How far out the back do you run them?
3. Do you run the trip line with the float on it all the way back to the boat and recover the paranchor by this same as what you do with a drogue?
4. Do they get tangled up on the deck, in storage etc and become a pain in the ass?
Any comment from those with experience with them would be good thanks.
