I have one (a Para-tech sea anchor) on each of my powerboats and wouldn't
go out on Lake Superior without one. Sailboats can do things when things go
wrong that powerboats cannot. Mine both assume a broach position as soon as
the power shuts off.

Watched "The Perfect Storm" a couple weeks ago and kept thinking how they'd
be dead in a minute if the engine quit. Certainly cured me of any desire to
be out in serious weather in a power boat, at least a single engine unit.
Seems like drogues and sea anchors are even more important on power boats.
Don't read those magazines so I wonder what they say?
