A sea anchor is deployed off the bow and a drogue is deployed off the stern. The sea anchor keeps the bow up to weather, a drogue is usually smaller, and allows you to move downwind while acting as a brake. Each has wide variations in the sizes used, and this affects their specific role in sea survival.
To set anchors in this way, first one anchor is set in the normal fashion. Then, taking in on the first cable as the boat is motored into the wind and letting slack while drifting back, a second anchor is set approximately a half-scope away from the first on a line perpendicular to the wind.o set anchors in this way, first one anchor is set in the normal fashion.
