Drift Anchor
Go see Ryan and get one of the ones he had made up. Slows my boat down heaps and I know Russ and Jason are happy as well.
Told Jamie from the club about them for his new Commodore and he found it cut his drift by about half.
Would never go back to one of the others now.
ps Think he only has 1 left.

not satisfied!
Cheers fella's!
Matt, i've owned a para & sold them for a while but not impressed what so ever and especially for the price. The throat isnt big enough, not enough drop and not rigid enough at the mouth. I've now dropped that product due to my dissatisfaction and got these custom sea anchors made. I've got one left but i'm ordering more this week!

Got to agree
We were out in some not too flash weather yesterday, well offshore and that sea anchor did a brilliant job...Another vote for Ryan's anchors.

Oceanside Custom Sea Anchor
I've been getting a few PM's re the Custom Sea anchor so here's a picture and i've ordered more today and they will be available Saturday 18th but due to being hand made they cant supply all what i want straight away. I'm getting some for now and the rest when he can make next week.
I'll PM these FW members and put aside.
