Yes, Don Jordan did recommend having proper chainplates installed to mount the JSD bridle to.
One major point about the experience the Pardeys and many others have had with parachute type sea anchors... these accounts are mostly from older, full keel design boats, and what works for them is not necessarily what is going to work effectively on a more modern fin keel boat design.
The design of the boat is going to be a big determinant of what tactics will work in heavy weather. More modern designs seem to have more problems with lying to a sea anchor than do older, full keel designs did.

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.
