Default Why does a drogue / sea anchor have a hole in the center?

....
I agree to the extent that you still have control of the boat. If you
don't, anything that works.


Indeed. I have both a sea anchor and a drogue and I've even used the
drogue in anger, but they wouldn't do for every day... If you can't
get your sails up and down in anything on the nice side of a gale then
something is not right.
