Wow, hadn't come aboard for a few days and such a good reponse from all of you so thanks. The sea anchors you refer to we call drogues over here. THey are a sort of parachute that you toss over the side and depending on where you fix you can affect the way you drift. We also sometimes attach a large metal rudder to cause the drift to be nose first, this is used when trailing lines behind the boat. Usually fast sinking or lead cored lines with bouyant flies. Good method for catching fish but not very fulfilling in a fishing sense. Good varied response so thanks all very much! Just need my wifes new car on the drive and then I can make a move on the boat I have seen locally.
Interstingly Triumph do not import into Europe which really surprises me. There might be an opportunity there that no one has explored. I am exploring importing one of these craft from the US, started talking to US air personnel working nearby who regularly have vehicles airfreighted over as fill in on half full transporters, may be a possibility there, not sure of cost yet but remain hopeful that soon one of these will be fishing on the "Norfolk Broads".
