Ok, how's about a bridal from the bow to the stern with a riding block
that will allow you to adjust the angle from bow to stern. Use two
50% para drouges in series, spaced on a 10X's your boat length line
with a mid line sinker and chain sinker leader..??

So you toss it,off the bow, ride out a storm off the bow quarter, pop
a head sail as the storm dies, and use it as a drouge off the stern or
any angle to the stern.

Or you toss it off the stern to run from or out of a storm, decide
it's going to get real bad, and walk it to the bow to hunker down and
ride it out.
