The Delta Drogue helps slow the speed of a vessel, reduce yawing and pitching in following seas and can help a towed vessel behave better at the end of a tow line. The pyramid shape fills with water through a circular opening at the apex and drains through three openings at the rear. It is virtually impossible to foul, and stores in a small amount of space compared to solid drogues.
