Dan Buoy Drogue

Description

Made of nylon in dayglow orange/red, this drogue greatly reduces drift of the dan buoy when it is deployed. The wire around its widest circumference helps the drogue's mouth spring open. With a gentle twist, it can be made to coil upon itself so the sea anchor may be packed with the dan buoy. For complete dan buoy information, including a user manual with servicing instructions, click to the man overboard buoy page.
