Tested and developed by Fiorentino for deploying the Para-Ring Anchor and Shark Drogue
Fiorentino’s double braid deployment rode is Type 6-6 yarn U.S. Military Specification MIL-R-24050-D specifically designed with a Dacron sleeve over a nylon core. Includes high-quality served stainless steel thimble.
Generally, we recommend 5/8" rode at 10 times the length of the vessel. The object in deploying a sea anchor is to set it in the second sea following your vessel with enough - but not too much - stretch in the tow line. Because drogues rotate while towing, three-strand twist nylon line can unlay and has too much stretch which is why we recommend using only double braid (yacht braid) rode.
Rigging Options:
Safety Whipping
Fiorentino's commercial rigging method is considered superior by independent experts, because it can’t come apart. Our own master rigger meticulously hand serves 15 feet of nylon over the vulnerable, unprotected splice. This time-consuming process protects the splice against chafe and snags during heavy weather deployment or commercial use.
StormRap Protection
Fiorentino's exclusive factory process tightens nylon rode to prevent chafe. Spliced rode is shrunk wrapped into the eye of the thimble to help insure the tightest possible fit. Soft rode eyes never part, creating a safer, tighter fit. Recommended for heavy weather deployment or commercial use.
15' Safety Whipping and StormRap Protection included FREE when placing a minimum order of 300'.
