“I had my Ocean Brake JSD for around 4 years prior to needing it. I’d always have it setup in the cockpit during an offshore passage with the bridles attached to the chainplates. In 2020, on a passage to the Azores, I was caught in 50kt winds with abnormally steep breaking waves. My mainsail ripped down the middle and my engine packed in, preventing me from heaving-to under sail or motor. I deployed the drogue at 2am as a last resort. It was spectacular. Held in safe position, stern to the waves, I slept and ate well for 32 hours as the bad weather passed. The motion was also good enough for me to fix the engine. The singlehanded retrieval took around 1.5hrs and wasn’t particularly strenuous. Best £1000 I’ve spent on the boat”
