Illegal these days. MARPOL Treaty Annex V.

It's fish oil; not petroleum based oil that works. You have to be
drifting slowly to leeward as when hove too in a heavy, traditional
vessel. You stream slightly punctured bags full of oil out on ropes
so they are to windward and they moderately smooth the seas but not
the big freak waves that will really hurt you.

If you want to carry gallons of the stuff around on the off chance
that you need it and want to scrub fish oil off every inch of your
boat after the storm, give it a try.

Modern vessel are going to forereach too fast when hove to to remain
in the oil slick. This is an idea from the age of tarred hemp
standing rigging and about as practical to the modern sailor.
