Speed Limiting Drogue
A speed-limiting Drogue is towed off the stern. It's purpose is to
(a) limit the boat's speed, (b) reduce her angle of yaw and (c) to
provide for steering assist in strong following seas.
Four Uses For Drogues
1 -
Speed-limiting Drogues can be of immense
value in strong following seas and have been used to stabilize craft
since antiquity. No doubt there are many yachts sailing today that
would have gone down had it not been for the grace of God and some
sort of device that slowed the boat down.
2 -
Towed off the stern with a bridle a speed-limiting Drogue can be
used as an emergency steering device to yaw the boat if steering
fails.
3 -
Towed off the windward quarter a speed-limiting Drogue can help
maintain directional stability while negotiating a dangerous harbor
entrance.
4 -
Towed off the stern of a vessel in tow a Drogue can all but
eliminate the "whiplash" effect and contribute to better control by
the towing vessel.
