series drogue sales agents wanted
 

I have been making series drogues to U.S. Coast Guard specifications
in Melbourne, selling them mainly in U.K. and Europe. Australia is
about to sign a free trade agreement with the U.S. any day now, and I
dont have any contacts there. I dont like working with large companies
because they seem to spend most of their effort working out new and
smarter ways of screwing me. I am looking for individuals that like
messing around in boats, and have some spare time.
My drogue is the best on the market and 20% cheaper than the nearest
competator.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the only tactic that will save a boat in
large breaking wave conditions is deloying a series drogue. They
concluded that no yachts would have been lost in the 79 fastnet race
if series drogues had been deployed. They dont say that about
parachute style sea anchors, lying ahull, running, heaving to,
galerider, or anything else.
There is talk that the O.R.C. (ocean racing club) will make series
drogues compulsory equipment on ocean races, this could be in a month,
year or never. Either way, it should be on boats because it saves
lives, and is idiot proof, and if you find yourself in 50ft waves,
most of us turn into idiots. But I digress.
If you want to yarn, email me, or look at my web site

no reference to post, for the CG did not say that.

The CG did say the Jordan drogue is probably the best design, but nowhere did
it say the Jordan works and no other drogue does.

Possibly, Coast Guard Report CG-D-20-87, which may be obtained from the
National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

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.

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 ;-).
