Sea Anchor for Extreme Weather

NASA Tested, NASA Approved.

Offshore Para-Ring Anchor® calms
an angry ocean during extreme weather where Coast Guard rescue is impossible.

Developed by Gerrard Fiorentino and drag device
inventor, Zack Smith to withstand extreme weather in situations where Coast Guard rescue is impossible. This is the only parachute sea anchor to self adjust in heavy seas and strong ocean currents. It is also the only parachute sea anchor that absorbs massive shock loads without blowing panels or twisting parachute lines. That means no collapsing canopies, which can make quite a difference when cruising in storm conditions.

Fiorentino’s patented Para-Ring® is a stainless
steel fabrication that comes in eight different
sizes and is pre-sized to each order. Fiorentino's
exclusive Para-Ring® spreads out the shroud
lines, thus preventing chafe and enabling the swivel
to work without restriction. The Para-Ring® is the
only device on the market that permits a swivel
to rotate under load.


   In test studies,
    the PARA-RING
    outperformed
    shackles,
   swivels,
   thimbles,
    and other
    traditional
hardware.

Fast-PAK Deployment System® deploys fast and packs fast

Developed by Fiorentino for real-
life use, the Fast-PAK Deployment System® allows for easy attachment to
any boat deck and more importantly, easy two minute packing. There' s no worry about folding the parachute just right so that it will fit properly and deploy with your second use. Just roll it up like a small sleeping bag and place the trip line and the anchor in one bag -- not two or three.
