I think the probability of having to make such an evolution is so low that I
would just cut the bow sea anchor loose and chalk it up to experience. The
boat will head almost instantly downwind, easily with in the time of a
chosen set of low waves, and the stern drogue can then be deployed.

Yeah , I talked myself out of it to, problem is the load on the
painters to prevent swing could be to high, then again the boat might
find it's own sweet spot on the bridal. In real world conditions I do
not wan't to be testing new theory's without a CG Cutter standing by ;
