How does our modern PARA-RING hardware
compare to traditional hardware?

Check out these photos from three different manufactures. Photo credit by Cary Deringer who
   wrote a comparison article for Sail Magazine. Three American products were tested: a Fiorentino,
   Para-Tech and Shewman parachute sea anchor.

Fiorentino uses a patented
PARA-RING hardware to attach
round braided commercial
fishing lines.

Para-Tech uses a generic
galvanized shackle to attach
flat webbed shroud lines

Shewman uses a traditional
thimble to attach braided shoud lines.
