I think this thread is turning a little bit from where Jeff started it but:

Be cautious with Sea Anchors and Drogues. Not all boats will ride well with them. Especially if the sea is coming in a differnt than the wind, you can easily get beam-on.

I unfortunately have first-hand experience with that.

Heavy weather techniques are best ried close to home in controlled conditions. I think SD even said that, if I am not mistaken... and he is right.
