TWO IN

ONE

Deckchute is two systems in one:

Deckchute Grand Prix 

Deckchute Shorthand.

 

The Dechchute hardware is the same.

 

The difference is the speed of the drop and the number of crew you need.

​

To do Deckchute Grand Prix drops, you need a fast-running winch for the dropline and you need the coordinated action of more skilled crew.

To do Deckchute Single/shorthand drops, a slow-running winch for the dropline is OK and for S/Y you only need the coordinated action of a few crew. Normal size boat singlehand hoist and drop is safe and easy

A boat with fast-running winches can choose to do Deckchute Grand Prix drops when racing fully crewed and Deckchute shorthand drops when cruising.

The Dechchute hardware is the same.

A boat with slow-running winches can not do Deckchute Grand Prix drops.
