Rich's comments below are a stron argument for using a sea anchor or drogue. I have a Driftstopper that I stopped carrying with me years ------------- How small do they stow and how tough are they to deploy (how many hands)? The main difference between the two, I think, is a sea anchor trails off the bow and pretty much stops progress while a drouge trails off the stern and only slows you down (a lot). Which is a safer, more comfortable, less strenuous ride in steep, dangerous waves? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jan 29 1999 - 07:28:52 PST
