Re: deploying a drogue - HELP
I was only pulling your leg, I will sketch up the dimensions later and post a picture, although I think anything made around that sort of idea would work.

Re: deploying a drogue - HELP
The wood is 18x18mm. It probably started life as 3/4” sq, but was sanded. The holes I drilled through were 1/4”, but this is to suit the paracord of the wychwood drogue which is about 6mm.
I imagine you could make the same thing very easily from aluminium flat bar, as long as the holes were well smoothed out. Once the ropes are under tension it locks on quite tightly.

I have set mine up now so the standard drogue ropes are effectively halved- so each rope is now as short as it can be.
I fix the adjusters to the boat, and if I want to make a change I will lengthen on rope slightly.
I have concluded that the standard length of the ropes is a bit unessesarily long.
