Bow sprit para anchor question

[benz]

I have heard the theory of having bows askew while riding out the weather, and it occurs to me that it would be childishly simple to make up a cockeyed bridle with one leg shorter than the other to achieve the same effect without having to worry about chafe, which I've been led to believe is the reason for the loss of many a sea anchor. Most people opt for a dedicated sea anchor rode, so a dedicated sea anchor bridle isn't much further to go.
I, too, have never deployed a sea anchor ( hove-to quite a bit, but never been that hammered), but I've dealt with the demon of chafe enough to put lots of thought into its mitigation. If I'm all out of whack, I hope someone will pipe up and set me straight before I live to regret it.
Best,
Ben
