Used both...have the drogue. Have never had to utilize them for their
intended purpose..... just practise deploy and retrieve in various
conditions.

Like them both....they both do well but require systems and methods in place
for both set and removal. The parachute anchor especially is difficult to
trip in rough conditions. Drogue is simply winched in.

Scope for your particular vessel is an important factor..... you need to
derive optimum length in practise exercises. Dangerous if you do not
practise and deploy only in an emergency, first time situation.
