Remember to attach a 'dump rope' to the neck of the drogue and use this to pull your drogue in when heading away to start a new drift. The 'dump rope' will turn the drogue backwards and empty out the water held in it and make it much easier to retrieve. It also acts as a safety line in case your main tie rope(s) happen to let go.... |
