Hello Captain Orlando
Wonderful and useful two part video. Very well put narrated and instructed. I've always had a problem fishing in rough waters. I have a small 24 foot boat. Striper SeaSwirl. Before I go out shopping for one. What size Sea Anchor do you recommend for my boat? Thank you Sir.
Cron.

I’m thinking about 9’ or 12’. I use a 12’ on my 28’ center console. Both will work for you except the 12’ will slow you down a bit more. Good luck! Thanks, Capt. O

Hi Capt. Orlando. Wonderful two part series! Can you give a link on where to get the sea parachute you are using? I like the bag being built into it's deployment but others I've seen don't have that. Thanks!!!

Hello Mike. I bought mine from Crook & Crook in Miami. It’s made by a company called Para-Tech. Best of Luck, Capt. O

That's all nice, and all. But you didn't show how and why this could save your LIFE. If for any reason your boat has lost power, the bow will tend to go the way of the wind. This means that the stern is facing the waves crashing over it. NOT GOOD! A sea anchor, which should always be attached to the bow, will keep the front of the boat facing into the wind and waves. Loosing power out in the middle of no where is bad enough. Taking on water on top of that unacceptable!

True. Was trying to focus on the benefits for fishing. 👍
