A new video produced by Fiorentino Para Anchors allows you to watch Captain Teresa Carey both deploy and then recover various drag devices — a parachute sea anchor, a series drogue and a Shark drogue — from a Norseman 447. All the while she is talked through the process by drag device expert Zack Smith of Fiorentino. This is well-shot, informative video with plenty of practical knowledge about proper rode leads and procedures from Zack. Definitely worth the watch for any sailor who has such a device and by those who are considering buying one.
