Product and size selection is actually the last step.

• What is it for (emergency steering, slight slowing, or storm major management)? These require different sizes.
• How will it be rigged?
• Will it help (50,000 pounds may be at the upper end of where drogues function well for storm management)? The forces become huge.
• Have you used a drogue? There is a learning curve, like sailing.

All of those are good, but they are not interchangeable.

had GR on previous 45 K boat, only deployed at sea in average conditions, no storm. Of course we sort of avoid those. .. I liked the way it slowed the boat and was relatively easy to recover, but probably would prefer a JDS, just looking for a good deal

thanks for responding
