closehauled14 is on a distinguished road
If there are suficient conditions to deploy the jsd, then the end depth will almost always be <50ft alowing the jsd not to curve at the end. Also, the forces of wind and sea state acting on the bouy will keep the cord taugt enough not to alow it to come into proximity of the drogue to become fouled. Also you would atach with a release clip to allow the bouy to jetison itself if it were to incour the load of the jsd due to picking it up.
