Tracy, I bought a sea anchor from Pacific Marine Exchange in Bellingham for 100.00 dollars and it worked great, I have a large heavy boat so I got a 14 footer and it held me straight into the heavy sea's as if anchored up. In high winds I traveled from side to side and there were several things I learned through the process. If you want give me a call and I can tell you more. 907 399 3555.

For information on tested equipment, I have had good success with "Practical Sailor". Check out their tests on sea anchors at:
