Para-Tech Delta Drogue Item # 877035
Description
The Para-Tech Delta Drogue is towed off of the stern primarily to help limit boat speed, reduce the angle of yaw and assist steering in strong following seas.
Features:
- Triangular "Delta" shape provides strong uniform flow separation at all leading edges
- Simple design and construction, excellent shape retention
- Small mouth at the leading edge makes it extremely unlikely to turn inside out (a problem associated with large cones and small parachute drogues)
- The three ears of the Delta drogue increase the drogue's drag as speed increases
- Eliminates the "whiplash" effect and contribute to better control when towing
- Maintains directional stability while negotiating a dangerous harbor entrance
- Can be used as an emergency steering device to yaw the boat if steering fails
- Made from strong 18-oz. coated fabric and webbing

Drogue in use for 17 years
I did buy the drogue in 2008 (48 for 31 ft mono-hull). We used it a lot of times (>10x) and are very satisfied about it. We used it in 8 bf wind with high waves to get the breaching of the stern under control. Speed is only a little less but the boat steers better and the waves have no grip on the back.
I use it with 70 m nylon line and a piece of 10 mm chain, this is essential for good use.
