Description: sellercore Small Shark (Storm) Drogue Sea Anchor by Fiorentino – New Retail Price: $595 Sale Price: $545 FREE Shipping to our 48 Contiguous States, including Hawaii & Alaska *Authorized Fiorentino Dealer* Made in America Storm 'Shark' Drogue System for Emergency Steering & Storm Survival The Most Inventive & Effective Drogue System in the World: No need to add bulky chain. No bags to stow away. No tangling shroud lines. No awkward hoops or cables. No winch needed to retrieve. Outstanding Features: 1. PARA-RING® Advantage Our exclusive 8-inch PARA-RING® stabilizer eliminates the challenge of handling the large metal hoops required to keep many drogues inflated. This PARA-RINGg® technology also makes it impossible to tangle the SHARK™ because it eliminates the need for shroud lines. Fiorentino's patented PARA-RING® is designed from 316 stainless steel. The durability and tangle free status of the SHARK makes this system an excellent emergency steering device if your rudder or steering cables break. 2. Drogue Tail™ Eliminates Bulky Chain To avoid cumbersome chain required to keep drogues submerged below stormy seas, Smith developed the unique "DROGUE TAIL™" so mariners can easily attach a spare anchor on the backside of the SHARK™. Smith say's “It’s complicated to deploy chain, not to mention, the cost of splicing chain into anchor rode.” A small ground anchor is more compact and most sailors already store a spare anchor in their lazarette. Any style anchor from 10 to 50-pounds can be shackled onto the SHARK’s drogue tail™. No trip line required for recovery. 3. Better Storage Without a Bag. When not in use the SHARK's™ canopy and DROGUE TAIL™ fit compactly inside its own PARA-RINGg®. A protective cover is easily snapped into place with two nylon buckles. Self-contained packing saves space and eliminates bags that must be stowed and later recovered. The Safer Choice. The SHARK™ is the only hybrid drogue built from heavy grade fabric that meets precise hydrostatic test requirements to ensure a stronger and safer product. Fiorentino is recognized as the only drag device manufacturer to go beyond any ISO and USCG safety standard to produce high-end products for extreme weather. Here is everything included with the patented SHARK™ Drogue: Stainless Steel Para-Ring® Custom Size Stainless Swivel Installed Drogue Tail™ Expert Technical Support Impressive 5-Year Warranty Manufactured in the U.S.A. SHARK™ Model is Red Rode, sold separately Fiorentino Size Chart for Small Shark Drogue: For boats 22 - 31 ft & up to 20,000 lbs / 10 lbs; 8" x 8" (packed) Tow a SHARK™ to Slow or to Steer Your Boat: "Sailboats, trawlers and power boats that go to places like the Bahamas or Mexico are all likely to encounter large waves at some point in their voyages. Experienced sailors know that steering a boat downwind in heavy seas is dangerous and exhausting. Large waves can toss a boat out of control or crash on top of the person at the helm. The Shark™ can help slow your boat down so it’s not surfing the waves while maintaining enough speed to ensure that waves don’t break on the cockpit." The SHARK's™ COMPACT design makes it a safer drogue for any novice to quickly and simply deploy from an unstable platform. Other drogues require huge lengths of cone ridden rope and long lengths of bulky chain nearly impossible to deploy in sloppy seas. Still other drogues use super large rims, cables, or hoops that can break or spring open in your hands presenting an entirely new challenge. Best of all, the Shark is so easy to retrieve that you'll never have to winch it in or cut it away. Unlike those other drogues which must be cut away rather than retrieved, the Shark can be relied on time and time again. This high performance safety gear has been extensively tested and offers an outstanding investment for any serious boater. --Zack Smith, inventor of the SHARK™ and author of "The Complete Para-Anchor Set Up." In Other Words: Slow your boat down with a stern deployed SHARK™ to improve steering and to reduce broaching when running before large seas. The SHARK™ is also an approved emergency steering device if your rudder is damaged or your steering cable snaps. What makes the SHARK™ unique is that its mouth is held open with a thick-diameter Para-Ring® built from stainless steel. The Para-Ring® eliminates the shroud lines required by all the other speed-limiting drogues. Zero shroud lines equal zero tangles. A “drogue tail” is affixed to the Para-Ring® with the bitter end passing through the red canopy and ending in a stainless spliced eye. The spliced eye is where you attach a mushroom anchor so you can sink the SHARK ™ under the waves. Weight behind the SHARK™ permits you to use a cockpit winch to recover the SHARK™ because there's only rope in front of the drogue. All the other drogues on the market require 20- to 40-feet of chain connected in front of their drogues which can chew up a boat's deck and hull. When not in use the SHARK's™ canopy and "drogue tail" fit compactly inside their own Para-Ring®. A protective cover is easily snapped into place with two nylon buckles. Self-contained packing saves space and eliminates bags that must be stowed and later recovered. Shark Package Includes: Shark Drogue + Deployment Rode + Hardware + LineRap.
