SeaAnchors/Drouges How and Why
For a day and a half we had had occasion to be on a drogue 350 miles south of Bermuda.
It was a Jordan series drogue. The series drogue versus a gail rider or a sea anchor , which is one device, consists of a series of 150 small cone shaped drogues on a 300 foot line.
It worked well in STORM conditions.
The sea heights were 20-30 feet with winds in excess of 50 knots.
Fair winds,
Eric
