I would like to open up a discussion on the use of Sea Anchors and Drogues.
Should an ocean going sailboat carry a Sea anchor or a Drogue or both?
When should I use a Sea Anchor or a Drogue.
From what I see at the stores a Drogue is cheaper to buy than a Sea Anchor.

I just finished reading "Heavy Weather Tactics using sea anchors and
drogues" by Earl Hinz.
He leans heavily toward Para-tech sea anchors and doesn't say much
about drogues.
A good internet source for drogues is http://www.seriesdrogue.com/
and they basically disdain sea anchors.

Basically, imho, it boils down to the fact that either used properly,
will do the job.

A sea anchor anchors you in place by the bow, a series drogue anchors
you in place by the stern, a non series drogue slows you down while
running away.

I disagree. That is not what I gleaned from Hinz work.

I consider your reply as Internet bullying.

Any information coming from an Internet bully is considered not reliable.

If you wish to communicate effectively ensure an understanding of the
language sufficient that you are able to coherently express your ideas.
Failure to do so may impede others understanding of your meaning.

Since you are obviously bored or have cabin fever, think of these
devices as like chicken soup.

No medicinal value, but hadn't oughta hurt either.

I have to disagree with the medicinal value analogy. both series and
single drogues are extreamly usefull.... uh, life saving.

Dont seem to complicated to me.
Go back to reading your Martha Stewart O, and dont let the door hit
your vagina on the way out. (as heard on "Knocked Up")
