ABSTRACT:
A sea anchor or boat drag apparatus formed from a cylindrical tubular body and designed for inflated deployment from a fishing boat or the like and arranged to provide controllable or selectable drag forces ranging from zero drag force to a substantial drag force. The cylindrical tubular body is provided with a mooring line and a flow control line, with the mooring line being arranged for attachment to the hull of the boat, and with the flow control line being arranged to control the size or magnitude of the outlet of the cylindrical tubular body, thereby constricting the flow of water through the cylindrical tubular body.
