A single tow rope from a boat is secured to a plurality of strands from the periphery of each sea anchor and extends through these small apex openings of each sea anchor save the last. A single control cable also extends through the apex opening of each sea anchor save the last and is secured to each sea anchor adjacent the apex opening for simultaneously partially inverting said sea anchors to vary the drag of said tandem array of sea anchors. The number of anchors can be varied in accordance with the size, etc. of a boat.
