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

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.

Bryan, are you saying the CG states in its report (which you say you have
published on your site) that the Jordan drogue works and all others failed to
work? If so, would you mind very much pointing the specific paragraph in the
CG that makes that statement?

work and nothing else does. nowhere.

chuckle You may be shadowboxing. Unless we missed one of the messsages,
it appears that the only place the word "Jordan" was used in this thread was
in messages you authored. If, I'm wrong, my apologies

But, if you're looking for verification...yep, "nowhere at all does the CG
say that Jordan drogues work and nothing else does. nowhere".

And, there's a lot more stuff they don't say in the report ;-).

the series drogue was developed by Jordan, and his name is often associated
with the term. There is in fact no difference between a Jordan series drogue
and a series drogue.

in addition, while the CG felt the (Jordan) series drogue to be superior to all
others, nowhere in its report did it state that the (Jordan) series drogue
worked and all others failed (as in did not work).
