I have a JSD as an emergency device, as an answer to a big what if?. Another answer to an even bigger what if? is my liferaft. I hope that we never need to use either one. But to head offshore without answers to all of the what ifs is not good seamanship.
I have not yet done a test deployment of my JSD, but it is one of the things I have planned planned for our July sail straight out into the Pacific for three days then turn around. I'll experiment with retrieval methods, though one thing I know is that the first third of the haul is a matter of winching-in the bridle and the leader. Then, as the cones start coming in, each length becomes easier. My 147 cones will become about 10% lighter a load with each 15 retrieved.
