Possibly, Coast Guard Report CG-D-20-87,

no, not possible. For the CG never said any such thing.


For those interested, a link to the CG report follows. You may or may not
decide that the original posters comments were accurate. The Fastnet race is
specifically mentioned in the report as are a number of conclusions
regarding the likely results if the capsized boats had deployed properly
designed drogues.

To otnmbrd

thank you for sorting out the little problem of what the coast guard
has said.
also Donald Jordan has in other papers clearly voiced the opinion.
But, you dont need to give the competitions web site. But since you
have it is easy to confirm if i am 20% cheaper. I also have the coast
guard report on my site

www.seriesdrogue.com

VBG Cain't take the credit, there ..... I just commented on the report
someone else gave a URL to.
However, thanks for yours also, as the other didn't bring up the
diagrams, etc.
