  • A drogue should slow you down by about 2 or 3 knots. Any more than that and you will have a passive system. 

    Attachment should be to your leeward stern section with snatch block bridle fixed to weather.

  • I am intersted in the comments of others who have used a drogue. I was surfing at about 12 knots with and the Auto Pilot was working at its limits to stop the boat from broaching. After I deployed the drogue, I was only sailing at about 3 knots. I think maybe I should have been going a little faster. Maybe 5 to 6 knots which may have increased the efficiency of the rudder. Any comments from others would be appreciated.

  • What kind of drogue were you using and what kind of boat is it???
