Some of you will know that I am a series drogue manufacturer, I have
always felt that para anchors while not really suited to mono hulls in
serious storms, do have a place as storm survival equipment aboard
multihulls, because they do not tend to yaw at anchor.
But lately I have been trying to get my head around how the hell do
you set the right length of line to position the parachute, and if you
make a mistake and have to adjust the length, how is this possible,
when the things hanging off a bridle.

?? You don't run the bridle ends to the primary winches so you can
adjust?? They're the safest attach points on our boat.

I'm thinking as a drogue, not a sea anchor. 'Course, I'm the sort that
"backs" into the wind if I have to hold station: The aerodynamic drag's
mostly forward and I want the bow pointed into our direction of drift,
not the wind.
