Does anyone have any experience using a sea anchor to reduce drift.

Great points. I have a ring in my skiff. Perfect for floating my quahog basket. True, it is cumbersome and does not store easily. Never thought about hitting the person in the water on the squash. Certainly not the goal when trying to save them. I appreciate your insight. I figured since I...

Wondering if anybody has thoughts on mounting a 30” life buoy ring to the rail on a 330 Express. Any hardware work better than others? Thx

My wife has asked me to get a small carpet (1/2 moon) with the boats name on it to put at the base of the steps going up to the helm on our 330 express. After I spoke of the fishability of the boat she reminded me of a few things, so……. Any ideas where to have one made up. An internet search...
