Reply To: Storm Tactics for the Heavenly Twins 26

Could be a good idea to read about the eclipse (woods) rescue where drogue techniques kept the boat floating after the rescue – my research makes me doubt very much the sea anchor technique. with a cat a big breaking sea especially a wave thats just about to break may have the boat airborn and tear it to bits. The series drogue bridled from the stern seems to be a possible solution with subsequent lower stress and crew fatigue – it is possible now to get these made up in the USA. Like to see this thread continued very interesting subject – not to mention life saving !! My reading suggests the sea anchor may work with a deep keeled monhull where the wetted surface keeps the boat in the water !!
