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.

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

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.
