BCB Liferaft Drogue – SOLAS Sea Anchor for Raft Stability and Drift Control

The BCB Liferaft Drogue (Sea Anchor) is a crucial component of any SOLAS-compliant marine survival kit. Designed to stabilize liferafts and reduce uncontrolled drift in open water, this sea anchor is engineered for performance and reliability in extreme sea conditions. Whether in heavy swell, strong wind, or open ocean currents, the drogue ensures the liferaft remains properly oriented, minimizing capsizing risk and improving visibility to rescuers.

Constructed from high-strength, marine-grade materials, the BCB sea anchor is built to withstand constant water pressure and harsh environments. Its wide mouth captures water resistance while trailing behind the raft, creating drag that naturally aligns the liferaft into the prevailing waves and wind. This helps to prevent the raft from spinning or flipping, especially in turbulent seas—a critical safety feature during extended survival situations.

The drogue’s reinforced seams and heavy-duty attachment lines are designed to endure sudden loads and shock forces caused by wave surges or high winds. Its compact foldable design allows for easy stowage in raft storage pockets, grab bags, or SOLAS emergency packs without taking up excessive space. It deploys quickly and easily, even by non-specialists, offering instant performance when every second counts.

Drift control is not only essential for liferaft stability but also for increasing your chances of being located and rescued. A drifting raft can quickly move miles away from a last known position, complicating search and rescue efforts. By using a properly deployed sea anchor, survivors can significantly slow drift speed and improve visibility to search parties, helicopters, or ships.

The BCB Liferaft Drogue is fully compliant with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations and meets International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards for liferaft emergency equipment. It is a mandatory inclusion in many commercial vessel, passenger ferry, and offshore platform liferaft kits and is trusted by maritime authorities worldwide.

This emergency sea anchor is suitable for use in both commercial and recreational liferafts. Whether you’re a professional seafarer, offshore worker, or ocean-going yachtsman, the BCB drogue offers reliable drift reduction and raft stabilization to keep survivors safer and more secure while awaiting rescue.

Backed by BCB International’s 160+ years of expertise in survival innovation, the liferaft drogue exemplifies the brand’s dedication to field-ready marine safety tools. Trusted by navies, coastguards, and commercial marine operators across the globe, BCB’s sea anchor helps ensure that your raft remains oriented, stable, and trackable in the most challenging maritime conditions.

When stability and control are critical for survival, the BCB Liferaft Drogue (Sea Anchor) provides dependable performance in one compact, easy-to-use solution.
