I didn't understand the recent thread concerning how the driftstopper is launched with the bow into the wind but the drogue is launched with the stern into the wind. I can see why the driftstopper is deployed from the bow because the holder is mounted to the deck between the cockpit and the bow. But,what I don't understand, is why the drogue can't launched from the bow as well. I would prefer to keep my bow into the wind for comfort and self-preservation. Tractor kites can be launched attached to a loop of rope between the cockpit and the bow. Why can't the drogue be launched the same way?
