Hi All, I have an approx. 20' diameter Para sea anchor that I made for my 30' catamaran that has never been in the water.
It's made from 4oz Oxford nylon with 2" webbing over the seams and as the bridle. Should be REALLY strong.
It's currently sitting under my parents house and if not claimed it will go onto the council cleanup Tuesday week (25th Aug), but I'd rather it didn't go into landfill .
It's for pickup only, I don't want to stuff around with posting or packaging it up and I can't hold it beyond cleanup day.
Just leave a comment or PM me if you want to know more.

If you want it, come and get it!

Would this be suitable for a 32ft monohull?

Might be a bit big? These guys spec a smaller one (assuming their "size" is diameter) but they base it on displacement.

Actually I just went and measured it. It's 16m circumference which makes it 5m diameter, so about 16.5 ft
