Safety Information

Safety Instructions for a Drogue Anchor
Safety Guidelines
Proper Use
A drogue anchor is designed to stabilize and slow the drift of a boat in strong wind or current conditions.
Ensure the drogue anchor is appropriately sized for your vessel to ensure its effectiveness.
Use the drogue anchor only as intended – do not use it as an anchor or for towing purposes.
Correct Installation
Before setting out, make sure the drogue anchor line is in good technical condition and sufficiently long, depending on the water depth and wind strength.
Install the drogue anchor so it can be quickly deployed and secured. It is recommended to attach the line to a sturdy point on the boat, such as a cleat or a specialized bracket.
Regular Inspection Before Use
Technical Check
Inspect the drogue anchor material for wear, tears, or holes that could compromise its functionality.
Check the knots, carabiners, and line attachments to ensure they are undamaged and free from corrosion.
Deployment Practice
Regularly practice deploying the drogue anchor in controlled conditions to ensure it can be used without delay when needed.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Post-Use Cleaning
After each use in saltwater, rinse the drogue anchor and its line with clean water to remove salt and other debris.
Allow the equipment to dry completely before folding and storing it.
Storage
Store the drogue anchor in a dry, ventilated area, away from UV rays and heat sources.
Avoid storing it in damp conditions to prevent mold or corrosion on metal parts.
Emergency Situations
Use in Emergencies
If the boat loses steerage, immediately deploy the drogue anchor to minimize drift and stabilize the vessel until the situation is under control.
Ensure the drogue anchor line is secure and does not pose a hazard to the crew – avoid tangling and sudden tensioning.
Damage to the Drogue Anchor
If the drogue anchor becomes damaged during use, stop using it and replace it with a new one. Avoid attempting repairs that might compromise its effectiveness.
Contact in Case of Issues
If manufacturing defects or damages are noticed during normal use, contact the manufacturer or point of sale to file a claim.
