Does the dinghy automatically activate its features, such as sea anchor and exposure canopy?
The exposure canopy and sea anchor can be pre-set for emergency use. The exposure canopy has the option of inflating semi-automatically. Each section inflates in about 17 seconds after the lanyard is pulled. It uses two inflation chambers, each with a CO2 cylinders and a high-quality valve. (The valves are approved by the Navy for their one-man life raft.) You can preset the exposure canopy and the sea anchor so they are ready to be deployed quickly. For detailed information on the sea anchor and exposure canopy go to the Pudgy accessories page.
