Why does a drogue / sea anchor have a hole in the center?
I wasn't thinking of heavy weather at all, I just want the boat nicely pointed into the wind while I take my time to handle both sails, instead of running back and forth. But you are right, retrieval might be even more of a hassle. Thanks! |

Can you set a small riding sail from your backstays?

Same reason a parachute has a hole in the apex. To allow a small amount of
air/water through so that the anchor/parachute doesn't oscillate. Cap'n Ric |
