Marilyn and I wrote an article titled "Maiden Voyage" for Multihull
Mag in the March April 97 issue, In it we described our experience with
the Jordan Series Drogue we built. We documented the method and materials
for its construction.
A copy of our construction method is available through SSCA and, I expect,
Multihull Magazine as a reprint or buy the back issue from the
"Store" http://www.multihullsmag.com/. Lots of pictures on construction
in it.
I might have a copy around, but I do not know where it is. I'll look. If
you find it first let me know.
(We later discovered from the designer, Donald Jordan, that we were the
first, December1991, to use his design in actual full gale conditions. It
worked great !!! )
