Sea Anchor
What they do is cause your boat to move at the same speed as the current. Example: Current is moving at 3 mph east, wind is blowing at 20 mph east, net speed of your boat is like 5 mph. A sea anchor will slow your boat down to about 3.5 mph. This allows you to fish with less weight. If the wind is against the tide (slowing your drift) a sea anchor will speed you up. In the right conditions it could be very helpful in the race.
