On 9 March 2016 sent email to Para-Tech asking about length of primary float line as ours was cut and only about 3 feet long.
On 10 March 2016 received email from Para-Tech providing instruction on how to fix the cut sea anchor float line, as follows:
Instead of using nylon webbing to fix the float line, we used approximately 20 feet of 5/16" white with red tracer New England Sta-Set rope rated at 3850lbs at a cost of about $9.00. Each rope knot was seized with twine.
All the components were connected together as depicted in diagram below. Connections that required a rope knot were seized with twine. Each roll pin had seizing wire applied. The anchor and bridle rode rope was coiled and stowed. From the shackle chain connection to the sea anchor was able to pack and fit in deployment stowage bag. The float buoys and trip line rope were stowed separately. All items were stowed under the forward V-berth and are ready for use.
