Knockdown in the Inian, The Story 

Not a great experience, but glad you survived with minimal damage.

Congratulations on finishing the voyage . God Bless you and your loved ones.

I have no experience with a drogue but it is clear that they do the job they were designed for. Thanks for sharing your experience, it is priceless.

What material were the ports made of and how thick were they?

i used stormjib as tight as possible attached to the mastfoot. like plywood. tiller midships fixed. the boat went downwind 28 h. atlantic, sw gale, oct. between madeira and continent. cal 34.

Scary. Could you have thrown other items out the back to act as a drogue? Fenders or whatever?

Randall, WOW,what an experience. asa sailor I have heard an awful lot about Jordan Series drogues, but very few people have had to actually deploy one. So, let me be sure I understand your experience with it, the darn think was very difficult to deploy, worked well once deployed, Then the splice at the bridle came undone? Thanks Ed

thats kevin spacey after metoo..
