Excerpt from a Comparison Article by Sail Magazine  

"We tested the 12-pound Small Shark. In place of the large hoops of some drogues, the Fiorentino uses a thick-diameter, small-mouth ring, eliminating shroud lines and the risk of tangles. A Drogue Tail is standard, so it is easy to attach a second drogue or, more likely, a weight to keep the device submerged. According to the designer, chain could be used, but the drogue is intended to work with an anchor attached—a dinghy anchor or second anchor that any voyager would be carrying anyway... The square-cut Dacron canopy and fittings of the Fiorentino store in the tidy cylindrical package created by the hard mouth of the device. Im no engineer, but as near as I can tell, this one is built tough, deployment is easy, and there has been a genuine effort to make the usage foolproof."
