Two points.
You don't have to be dropped off a wave to have the steering damaged. The force of the wind under the kinds of conditions discussed in this thread, combined with the slacking of the parachute rode because of an out-of-synch moment, are enough to make a boat "hit reverse" with enough speed to damage the steering.
The problem with the JSD is that to be truly effective it should be secured to something equivalent to chain plates on each quarter with metal hardware. I haven't figured this one out yet. After sewing up some 120 GD little cones and feeling like I did time in a sweatshop I am scratching my head trying to work this out without adding hardware that would change the look of the boat.
