FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work Offshore Para-Ring Anchor?
When a Fiorentino anchor is deployed on the windward side of your boat, the anchor rode and hardware immediately sink upon hitting the water, pulling the shroud lines out of the parachute canopy. At this point, the canopy fills with water until it submerges. It then opens up like a giant jellyfish. The bow of your boat then automatically aligns itself into the wind, stabilizing your position in the water. Deploying the appropriate amount of anchor rode allows your boat and Fiorentino to ride in unison on opposing waves. The end result is a safe, smooth, and comfortable boat ride.
How to Deploy?
1. Deploy Trip Line
Deploy the trip line off the windward side of your boat. Allow your vessel to drift away from the recovery line until it’s elongated.
2. Deploy Para-Anchor
Simply drop the parachute anchor off the windward side of your boat. Fiorentino’s patented design and heavier materials immediately launch the para-anchor underwater.
3. Deploy Anchor Rode
In calm conditions pay out very little deployment rode to maintain “constant rode tension.” ÂIn storms pay out at least 50% of your deployment rode to maintain “constant rode tension.“ Secure your deployment rode around a cleat to fully inflate the para-anchor. Whenever your vessel starts to jerk unnaturally pay out more rode until that motion stops.
How to Retrieve?
1. Hook it
Motor toward the retrieval float located at the end of a trip line.
Collect the float with a boat hook.
2. Pull It
Just pull the float line and the chute closes like an umbrella as the anchor rises from the depths.
3. Retrieve It
The para-anchor returns with virtually,Â
no resistance.
And, two minutes later your para-anchor is packed with Fiorentino’s Fast-PAK bag.
