an apparatus that attaches to a small boat designed to stabilize a first end of the boat against the wind while a trolling motor stabilizes a second end is herein disclosed . the apparatus generally comprises a clamp that attaches it to the side of the hull and a moveable shaft that holds a large piece of plastic which is partially submerged under the water . the apparatus is positioned such that it is perpendicular to the direction in which the wind is blowing . as such , as wind pushes against the side of the boat , resistance will be offered by the device as the wind must push it against the water as well . it can be quickly raised and lowered as required by the needs of the boat occupants . these features provide in effect , an “ anchor ” which stabilizes the boat against the wind .
