Rex Sellers

".... the COPPINS Para Anchor outperformed
other leading brands......"

Rex Sellers, double Olympic gold and silver medallist in yachting over four Olympic games, following tests of Para Anchors for use by weather boats and tenders in the Americas Cup series

Charlie Blanchet

"Without the Sea Anchor I doubt very much that we
would have survived. The waves were so large and
breaking, the boat wouldn't have really pitchpoled, it
would have been turned upside down and we'd have rolled over I don't know how many times."

Charlie Blanchet, survivor of "the Ultimate Storm" with a Coppins sea anchor, as reported in 'Boating New Zealand' magazine, November 2001. Wind speed was recorded at up to 154 knots with wave heights of up to 100 feet.

M & F Forsey

'We lay at the Sea Anchor for 27 hours!

For 12 hours we were constantly being hit end for end by huge seas..........It had done its work and saved 4 lives ........
I gave a blessing to Bill Coppins........."

Letter from M & F Forsey, survivors of a major storm 300 km west of Auckland, New Zealand.
