Description

The Para-Tech Delta Drogue is towed off of the stern primarily to help limit boat speed, reduce the angle of yaw and assist steering in strong following seas.

Features:

  • Triangular "Delta" shape provides strong uniform flow separation at all leading edges
  • Simple design and construction, excellent shape retention
  • Small mouth at the leading edge makes it extremely unlikely to turn inside out (a problem associated with large cones and small parachute drogues)
  • The three ears of the Delta drogue increase the drogue's drag as speed increases
  • Eliminates the "whiplash" effect and contribute to better control when towing
  • Maintains directional stability while negotiating a dangerous harbor entrance
  • Can be used as an emergency steering device to yaw the boat if steering fails
  • Made from strong 18-oz. coated fabric and webbing

  • Size: 36' - Maximum Boat Size: 25 Feet

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Drogue in use for 17 years I did buy the drogue in 2008 (48 for 31 ft mono-hull). We used it a lot of times (>10x) and are very satisfied about it. We used it in 8 bf wind with high waves to get the breaching of the stern under control. Speed is only a little less but the boat steers better and the waves have no grip on the back. I use it with 70 m nylon line and a piece of 10 mm chain, this is essential for good use.
