A critical safety item for any ocean going vessel.  Slows the boat in heavy seas to reduce surfing and potential pitchpoling.  Significantly reduces roll reducing stress on the rigging and the helmsman.  For the price you cant beat the peace of mind.  Drogue alone retails for $350. Add 120+ of 5/8 double braid and the polypro tripline and you are well over $500!  Reserve is reasonable so bid!
