    That if you deploy anything else in the beginning of a storm you may have
    difficulty if not discover it impossible to deploy the JSD after the fact.
    Comment: Amen. I don't normally boat far enough offshore, but even in near
    coastal conditions, when the winds,rain and seas are all active, getting
    anything done is a real hassel. Things never go as planned. Include cold temperatures
    and it just gets measureably worse.

    It's hard for me to imagine deploying anything overboard in anything even
    near storm conditions and guaranteeing it won't get fouled in rudders nor props.
    I guess if one is lying broadside and can make to forward to deploy a drogue
    from the bow that's better than doing nothing...

    I hope I never have to find out first hand.
