Rated Number One by Practical Sailor. 

"We tested models...and favor Fiorentino's These
are top-of-the-line sea anchors, well built... their more rugged construction will enable them to
endure Neptune's savage moods..."

Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted
shroud lines.

"Fiorentino's Offshore Anchor includes the world's
first anchor stabilizer. The Para-Ring® is the first device to allow a parachute canopy to self adjust
in heavy seas and strong ocean currents. 
Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted shroud lines."
--Cruising World Magazine

Rated "The Best" in a Comparison. 

"...After we had done our research, we selected
a 12' Fiorentino Para- Anchor.  It met our cost, weight and storage requirements, and we liked
the design of the hardware, the materials and
the construction methods used in the canopy."

Proprietary Design & Craftsmanship.

"Fiorentino canopies are built from tough 8 oz
nylon materials. The materials are extremely
pliable so the unit can be rolled up tightly into
a small and compact unit. Shroud lines are
made from commercial fishing lines. These
type of shrouds provide outstanding shock
absorption. Commercial fishing line is the
only line specifically designed for ocean
use with a minimum strength of 2,500 lbs."

--Zack Smith, drag device inventor

 

Commercial Shroud Lines Offer
More Stretch.

With unsurpassed strength of 2,500 lbs per line, Fiorentino's commercial nylon shrouds have more strength and stretch than the "flat-type" shrouds commonly found on weaker constructed sea anchors. Increased stretch reduces loads on your boating equipment. Prevents canopy tumbling.
 

NASA Tested, NASA Approved,

PARA-RING® Anchor.
Invented and developed by Gerrard Fiorentino and 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.

Outstanding Para-Ring® Advantage.
Fiorentino’s patented Para-Ring® is a stainless steel fabrication that comes in eight different sizes depending upon the size of the para-anchor and it's application. 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.

Deploys Safe and Easy Every Time.
Fiorentino's patented design makes it easy for any crewmember to deploy the para-anchor safe and easy every time. Simply drop the rolled up unit into the water. Fiorentino's Para-Ring® and precision weight placement inside the canopy quickly sink the para-anchor
below dangerous waves. The fast submersion fully inflates the parachute canopy immediately. Secure your anchor rode; you're done!

Everything in One Bag.  
Pack away in two minutes or less with Fiorentino's Fast-PAK! Just roll it up like a small sleeping bag and place the trip line and the anchor in one bag! Fiorentino also offers an optional heavy duty deployment bag that allows you to toss the entire unit overboard.

No Deployment Bag Or Bulky Chain Needed.
The Coastal Para-Ring® is the only compact anchor built with thick nylon fabrics, strong commercial fishing lines, commercial canopy weights and all stainless hardware. The combination of these elements permit the Para-Ring® Anchor to be deployed as is without the use of a deployment bag or added bulky chain. That means there's no risk of the chute inflating on deck or tangling itself around a floating bag.
