Could someone please direct me to information about constructing a drogue? 
I've seen various types (i.e. delta drogue, parachute drogue, cone shape 
drogue) and wonder which works best with a touring kayak. Are there any 
books, patterns or info on the net about making any or all of them?
Aloha for your help
Ellen

I don't recall if there are plans for making a drogue but John Dowd talks
about them quite a bit in his "Sea Kayaking: A manual for long distance
touring" book.
