I’d suggest to buy one way
I’d suggest to buy one way bigger than recommended for ur Boat size. I have a 465m Boat and use one that is suited to 7m boats and still dosent slow me down as much as I’d like... maybe because mine is just a shitty bcf anchor

Speak to drew directly, no need to buy from a middle man get it direct from the man who makes them. Great product

budget sea anchor
budget sea anchor ............get hold of grass bag , or garnet bag ... with the four corner ties on it ... measure out 4 equal length 8-10 mm ropes about 2.5 metres long ...tie them onto each corner of the bag , then tie the other ends onto a large brass swivel ... other end of swivel tie onto your 11-12 mm sea anchor rope back to boat .. 10-15 metres tops ..
lastly cut a hole approx 350-400 mm in the bottom or funnell end of grass bag ..then attach a smaller 8-10 mm longer rope in a different colour back to the top of your swivel ..this one is for hauling it in backwards when you are about to move , colour diff is so you can easily find the haul rope when she needs to come inboard
this will work a treat , and slow you right back to .3-.5 of a knot when drifting ... and lasts for eons
cheap but very effective

Got it
Hezzy has got it down pat, bulker bag with ropes on each corner strap to a swivel and a lazy line to the back corner to deflate it when its time to pull it in.
If you can get one with a sewn in tube on the bottom even better.
Beats all the manufactured ones hands down

Yep, I used a bulkie bag when I lived in Busso, work good but do take up a bit of room.

We have a Caribbean 2300
We have a Caribbean 2300 (7.05m, probably 2.5t+ loaded). Is the Silk 6-9m the right one to go for over the Jumbo or the 6-12m option?
