Fiorentino Para-Anchor, Sea Anchor, Drogue, Boat Storm Survival.
Whether you're a novice or an offshore expert, review the essentials of the Fiorentino Rigging System. Learn why thousands of people never leave port without their Para-Anchor Storm Survival Gear.
Simple Operation - To get started equipping your boat with Fiorentino Storm Survival Gear, you'll need a Fiorentino parachute sea anchor, a good Deployment Rode and a Fiorentino Trip Line. Deploy your Para-Anchor by simply dropping it off the bow of any trawler or sailboat and you're done. Optional Para-Anchor equipment is available to provide a more comfortable ride.

A: Retrieval Float - Boat fenders work well as the marker float for the tail end of the Fiorentino Trip Line for easy recovery of the Para-Anchor.
B: Trip Line Support Float - A small float secured in the center of a floating trip line.
C: Fiorentino Trip Line - Used to help in deflation and recovery of the para-anchor.
D: Weight - Reduces parachute rotation and prevents shrouds from twisting.
E: Para-Ring® - Serves as an attachment point for the anchor rode and maintains a wide spread of shroud lines, which enables the anchor stabilizer to more easily self-adjust.
F: Deployment Rode - A strong, braided nylon rope that connects the parachute anchoring system to the bow of a vessel. The amount of rode varies with weather conditions, rule of thumb, 10 feet of rode for every foot of boat.
G: Snatch Block - A stainless steel swivel block is used when a bridle assembly is required for improving the boat's response to waves.
H: Fiorentino Pendant Line - A stiff length of rope with a block at the end. When the block is attached to the anchor rode, the pendant line can be connected to a stern winch to form a bridle.
I: Pendant Line Support Floats - Two small floats located near the snatch block that keep the pendant line afloat whenever it becomes slack.
J: Chafe Gear - Wrapped around the anchor rode or pendant line to reduce chafing when the line rubs against the vessel and her rigging
Deployment Rode Length - Trawlers and sailboats pay out 300' to 600' of rode. Sport fishermen will pay out an average of 50' to 100' of rode.
Multi Hulls - Para-Anchor deployment is secured to each bow using a bridle system. |

| Para-Anchor Deployment and Retrieval
|
|
1. Deploy Trip Line. Deploy the trip line off the windward side of your boat. Allow your vessel to drift away from the recovery line until it’s elongated.
|
|
2. Deploy Anchor. Simply drop the unit off the windward side of your boat. Our patented design and heavier materials immediately launch
the para-anchor underwater
|
|
3. Deploy Rode. In calm conditions pay out very little deployment rode. In strong storms pay out at least 50% of your deployment rode. Secure your deployment rode around a cleat to fully inflate the para-anchor.
|
|
4. Hook It. Motor toward the retrieval float located at the end of a trip line. Collect the float with a boat hook.
|
|
5. Pull It. Just pull the float line and the chute closes like an umbrella as the anchor rises from the depths.
|
|
6. Retrieve it. Your para-anchor returns with virtually no resistance. And, two minutes later your para-anchor is packed with our Fast-PAK bag.
