Does anyone have any experience of Series (or Jordan) type drogues?
Reading about the Jordan Series drogue, and compared with the SeaBrake, I was wondering (in my obsessed techie way) about the difficulties and time consuming effort needed to retrieve the Series drogue, and I wondered if attaching a shot line to the outward end would assist in its retrieval?
I was looking into making one for myself - not technicaly difficult but immensely time consuming (hence the retail price), but the retrieval time makes it impractical for use in breaking seas in estuaries. Unless it could be hauled in "back end" first.
