Thanks Andre
BTW, I probably did say that a boat being held bow to waves via a parachute sea anchor was far more likely to be damaged than one being held stern to seas via a JSD...
this is not because of it being held bow to seas per se, but because a parachute sea anchor doesn't yield at all and increases the effective force the sea can hammer the boat with. That doesn't even include the damage to the steering gear that can occur to a boat that is bow to seas.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
