Seabrake Drogues

Has anyone used a SEABRAKE drogue "in anger"? Need some feedback on actual experiences during bad weather.

Hey Astro - welcome to SN dude!

There's one dude from Gibraltar that swears by it. I think he's in the can though. I haven't heard of any others around here that use it.

Here's a couple of good threads on all things angry - lots to learn:

Drogues/Parachute

Heavy Weather Sailing

Shortly Dog will be along to tell you about the JSD. Just smile and nod until he goes away.

Hi, is that anger as in frustration, or something else? I've 'thrown' things,' 'shot things' etc., but I'm doing much better, now

Wink "anger"

No by "anger" I mean using it in bad conditions when you really need it. Not on a perfect day when conditions are good like they do when they run all the tests and tell you its the best product you will ever buy.
