You are caught in a storm in your boat engine stops what should you do?
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.

Is a sea anchor effective against current?
No, a sea anchor is not effective against current. Sea anchors are used to stabilize a boat in rough seas or high winds by creating drag, but they do not significantly impact a boat's movement in a current. Other methods, such as using the engine or drift socks, are more effective for managing current.
What do you do if your boat is caught in a storm and your engine stops?
If your boat is caught in a storm and the engine stops, immediately assess the situation and ensure that all passengers are wearing life jackets. Try to secure the boat by deploying anchors or using a sea anchor to maintain stability and prevent drifting. Monitor the weather and waves, and if possible, use oars or paddles to maneuver the boat to safer waters. Lastly, communicate your location and situation to emergency services if you have a radio or phone available.
What is the proper use of sea anchor?
A sea anchor, also known as a drift anchor, is used to stabilize a boat in rough seas or heavy winds by creating drag in the water. It slows the vessel's drift and helps maintain a more stable orientation, reducing the risk of broaching or capsizing. Proper use involves deploying the sea anchor from the bow to keep the boat facing into the waves, ensuring that it remains secure and minimizes movement. It's essential to monitor the conditions and retrieve the anchor when conditions improve or when navigation is required.
