Sea anchor - Kaibyo
|
A sea anchor is a device that is dropped into the sea by ships and boats that have lost the ability to navigate under their own power, and is used as a substitute for an anchor by utilizing the resistance of the water. It is used to point the bow in the direction of the wind and waves to maintain its position, avoid the danger of cross waves, and reduce drifting.
