ABSTRACT:
Structures and methods for constructing sea anchors having body portions defined by at least three spaced corners or vertices wherein bail ropes are sewn to and extend diagonally inwardly from each corner toward the center of the body portion so that stresses applied to the stitching are distributed and absorbed by stretching the material along its diagonal lines. In one embodiment of the invention, a sail is disclosed which is reinforced by the method of the present invention and which thereby is capable of serving as a sea anchor during emergencies.
