Let me suggest building a Jordan drogue in segments. The advantages of the multiple small cones should apply either to a string of 200 cones, or a string of 50 cones. Stresses are less concentrated… more distributed. A Jordan could be set up so you can deploy as much as you think you need.
Yes this is a really good idea. If we do another offshore trip we will add a Jordan series drogue to our heavy weather arsenal.
