What is the difference between a sea anchor and a drogue? I'm just curious, because I have never quite understood it. I am thinking that a drogue is something you drag behind your boat when you are running away from the wind and that a sea anchor is deployed from the bow when you are facing into the wind and just drifting backward.

Is that correct? And what is the difference in how they are constructed and what they look like?
